Line 10:
** His hair fell out and he can't admit because of his bad people skills.
*** Funnily enough, that WMG was a plot point in one story where Dredd was faced with a group of bald extremists.
== The movie is a propaganda film made by the authorities of the comic book universe. ==
* Judging (NPI) by the film's quality, it's more likely that it was a smear campaign by his enemies.
 
== The uniform is more important than the judge. ==
Line 19 ⟶ 17:
* Also, the current Chief Judge, Dan Francisco, was a propaganda judge with his own tv show ''The Streets Of Dan Francisco'', a sort of ''Cops'' parody where Dan had to perform his duties in a manner that entertained the audience. Also, there's Judge Pal and the ''Pals Club'' where juves would inform on perps in exchange for prizes.
 
== [[Judge Dredd]] takes place in the Warhammer40000''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' universe. ==
Consider:
* Hive cities/ Mega cities
* Eagle motifs, ps(i/y)kers, [[Rated Mfor"M" for Manly|manliness]] and [[Shoulders of Doom]] all around
* Both purge mutants and criminals with equal zeal
* An [[Expy|Arbitrator Foreboding]] is mentioned in [[Ciaphas Cain]]
Line 28 ⟶ 26:
* Judge Death and pals / Daemons or Champions of Nurgle
 
Their Earth-like planet was colonised waaaaaaay back when the Emperor was still alive, but got cut off from the rest of the universe by a big warp storm. When it subsided, the planet was forgotten by all the Imperium and civilisation underwent an evolution parallel to Earth's history up to the late twentieth century, then split off into the [[Judge Dredd]] timeline. When people looked for a new emblem for the Judges, faint memories, generations old, reminded them of the Adeptus Arbites and the eagle symbol. They chose Fargo as a very distant version of the [[God -Emperor]], for he founded them.
* Well this makes some sense, given that [[Games Workshop]] has often admitted that [[Judge Dredd]] was a major influence.
* Considering the Adeptus Arbites actually have a special unit called Judge Dread (''sic''), a far more likely theory is that ''Judge Dredd'' takes place in the past of ''Warhammer 40,000'', and the Adeptus Arbitres grew out of the Judge system, with Dredd (or a clone who also had the surname Dredd) as a founding member. Hey, the Emperor needs somebody to enforce the law.
Line 34 ⟶ 32:
== "Day of Chaos" is going to be John Wagner's last story before retirement. ==
It's got PJ Maybe, Sovs, AND the Dark Judges. With all of Dredd's surviving perennial enemies, it sure looks like Wagner intends to go out with a bang, as there's really no way to top this.
 
== [[Judge Dredd]] takes place in the future of the [[Vertigo Comics]] series ''[[American Vampire]]''. ==
* Skinner Sweet reproduced {{spoiler|either before or after he became the first American Vampire}}, and his line led to the Angel Gang.
 
== [[Judge Dredd]] takes place in the same universe as ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]''. ==
* Dredd's bloodline has its roots in Stabler's. C'mon, just compare [[Lantern Jaw of Justice|the chins]]. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Judge [[John Munch|Munch]] either.
