Batman: The Chalice by Chuck Dixon

dark mysterious relaxing fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

The Chalice is probably the weakest of the three episodes contained in this John Van Fleet's Batman collection, mainly for its lack of insight on characters and events. The Ankh is interesting, but I've found Cast Shadows to be much more compelling and reflective (maybe a bit pretentious in some thoughts). John Van Fleet art style is peculiar, but I've found only a handful of boards really breathtaking, while most of them tent to confuse the narration even more (expecially in the "cryptic" Chuck Dixon episodes).
