He worked at Marvel for a bit, but got his big break when he began writing at DC. A big fan of ''ComicBook/TheFlash'', Williamson became the main writer of ''[[ComicBook/TheFlashRebirth The Flash]]'' for almost three years, surpassing the length of the ComicBook/DCRebirth branding itself. During that time, he was also positioned as one of the main architects of the DCU alongside Creator/ScottSnyder and Creator/BrianMichaelBendis (as Creator/GeoffJohns' own role as that was consistently overridden and diminished by notorious [[DaEditor Editor-in-Chief]] Creator/DanDiDio). With the advent of ComicBook/DCInfiniteFrontier, Williamson began the "Infinite Frontier Saga", a storyline that tackles the various reboots of the DCU directly. He also began simultaneously writing more smaller-scale series, such as ''ComicBook/Robin2021'' and ''ComicBook/DeathstrokeInc'', before being put onto the main ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' series as its main writer.

His style is reminiscent of Creator/GeoffJohns, in that Williamson has a deep love of prior stories that is apparent in his work. He often utilises past stories and continuity (or ''continuities'' sometimes) to add to his own stories, and much of his work directly deals with reboots and retcons themselves.

themselves. He and Johns have also had similar career trajectories in comics, both of them having had long runs writing ''The Flash'' and going on to write big event comics.

* ArmedWithCanon: If there is a development he doesn't like or thinks he can fix, he'll do it within a story itself, such as retconning Wally West's murderer cover-up into being not of his own will and moving Flashpoint Batman away from the villainous route that Tom King put him on. In fact, due to those two examples, some have joked that he likes to retcon King's stuff ''specifically''.

Obviously this is just in jest since another notorious example retconning the fact that Lian was alive the whole time but was unable to reconnect with her family.
