Dredd is brutal as fuck, but he's enforcing the laws as they are written, and *justice for all* is his watchword.
Batman is a vigilante, and he believes in justice for all "civilians" -- but he thinks that criminal behavior, or being a "goon," should be punished with extreme force, outside the justice system.
Depending on who is writing him, Batman can be better or worse -- but the Christopher Nolan Batman definitely loathes and fears the poor.
