I think the covers Chan did on BATMAN (roughly 262-283) demonstrate
what both of us disliked in Chan's work. It was especially a blow for me
when the creative team went from O'Neil/Novick/Giordano to David V.
Reed/Chan. Few series have taken such a dive in quality. BATMAN in
one issue (266 to 267) went from being my favorite book to one I
intensely hated. I especially hated Chan for being O'Neil and
Novick's replacement.

Although I didn't have as much resistance to Chan while he was inked
by Giordano in BATMAN 262-264, where his art was less of a jolt from
what I was used to. His pencils (also inked by Giordano) in
DETECTIVE 447-448 were also fairly nice and consistent with the
Novick/Giordano/Aparo runs.
