His best-known works include Green Lantern/Green Arrow and Batman with Neal Adams, The Shadow with Mike Kaluta and The Question with Denys Cowan, all of which were hailed for sophisticated (for the period, in the case of his 1970s work) stories that expanded the artistic potential of the mainstream portion of the medium. As an editor, he is principally known for editing the various Batman titles.

His 1970s run on Batman is perhaps his most well known endeavour, getting back to the character's darker roots after a period dominated by the campiness of the 1960s TV show, and emphasizing his detective skills. This grimier and more sophisticated Dark Knight, as well as new villians such as Ra's Al Ghul, brought Batman back from the verge of pop culture oblivion. His work would influence later incarnations of Batman, from the seminal comic "'" by Frank Miller, to the movie Batman Begins in 2005.
