Judge Dredd: Mega-City One - 10 Things We Want To See

3. Leave The Helmet On

Stallone's Judge Dredd made a lot of mistakes, to put it lightly, and right up there was the removal of the protagonist's helmet.

This was like having Batman violate his no-kill rule, or worse yet giving The Punisher a no-kill rule. It was an unforgivable crime, and the fans rightly acted as judge, jury, and executioners in response.

Karl Urban's Dredd got this fundamental spot on by casting an actor whose jawline says more than facial expressions ever could and keeping that helmet in place throughout.

Judge Dredd: Mega City-One should follow this tradition to the letter of the law. There will be other Judges it can unmask to add personality and humanity to the show, but Dredd must remain faceless.
