During his years at DC Comics, Peterson edited such titles as Detective Comics, Green Arrow, Batman: Black & White, Nightwing, and The Batman Adventures, including the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning Mad Love by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm.[3] Along with Dennis O'Neil, Jordan Gorfinkel, and Darren Vincenzo, Peterson was part of the Batman editorial team that developed the No Man's Land storyline conceived by Jordan B. Gorfinkel in 1998.[4]

Between 1999-2003 he wrote 42 issues of Batman: Gotham Adventures, a monthly comic book aimed at young readers, pencilled by Canadian artist Tim Levins. In 2000, Peterson was the co-writer, along with Kelley Puckett, of DC's first ongoing Batgirl comic book series.
