He also had a few Batman scripts to his name and a long working relationship with Grant. As for John Wagner, he co-creatored Judge Dredd, having written the majority of strips to that point. Alan Grant had written both characters, with extensive runs on the Judge Dredd strip in 2000 AD and an underrated run on Batman in Detective Comics and the self-titled series. It’s a line that Judgement on Gotham managed to walk, much in part due to the creative team involved. Writers need to capture the essence of two franchises and then combine them into a compatible story that makes sense within that context. These kinds of crossovers walk a precarious tightrope. That’s just what happened with 1991’s intercompany crossover Judgment on Gotham. With both franchises buzzing at a high point in their publication history, they were bound to cross paths eventually.
