Chuck Dixon (born April 14, 1954) is an American writer, who is widely known for his prolific amount of contributions to Batman related stories throughout the the 1990s.

History with Batman[]
After his success with Punisher: Kingdom Gone in 1990, he was approached by the DC editor at the time Denny O'Neil, who asked Dixon to write a Robin mini-series. The popularity of the mini-series spawned two sequels, Robin II: The Joker's Wild! and Robin III: Cry of the Huntress, also written by Dixon. Dixon eventually moved onto Detective Comics, from issues #644-738, which also included KnightFall, KnightQuest, and KnightsEnd, for which he assisted in creating the main antagonist of the issues, Bane. He also worked on the popular and well received crossover storylines DC One Million, Contagion, Legacy, Cataclysm, and No Man's Land.
His illustrator for most of his stories has been Graham Nolan.

Dixon's conservative views have ostracized him from getting work from modern DC editors, due to exorcising his right to vote Republican candidates into public office.
