| 7 | Dixon's work with the Bat-verse began with a five-issue ''Robin'' miniseries in 1991, focusing on the then-current Robin, Tim Drake. The success of the mini-series led to two sequel miniseries featuring Robin, ''The Joker's Wild!'' and ''Cry of the Huntress'', also met with agreeable reviews. By 1993, during the midst of the {{ComicBook/Knightfall}} debacle, Dixon (now already the regular writer of ''Detective Comics'') was given writing duties on a solo ''Robin'' ongoing, which he would write for one hundred consecutive issues with more artists than could be counted. As the decade went on, so did Dixon's writing duties - at his peak, he managed half a dozen monthly books simultaneously - ''Detective Comics'', ''Comicbook/{{Robin|1993}}'', ''ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}'', ''ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}'', ''ComicBook/GreenArrow'', and more, not to mention dozens of fill-ins for other books and an untold number of one-shots and miniseries. |

| 9 | In addition to kick-starting the ''Robin'' and ''Nightwing'' ongoings, Dixon also created famed Bat-villain ComicBook/{{Bane}}, and was the mastermind behind ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'', both in its several initial miniseries and its ongoing, all the way through issue number 46 in 2002. |

| 11 | In the early oughties, Dixon moved over to Creator/CrossGen. He briefly returned to DC circa 2008, where he was perhaps most notably responsible for the AuthorsSavingThrow RetCon of Stephanie Brown's death during the ''War Games'' arc. Leaving due to [[CreativeDifferences unspecified tensions between him and DC management]], in recent years he has written for several independent companies, most notably IDW Publishing, for their ''[[ComicBook/GIJoeIDW G.I. Joe]]'' titles. |
