Davis broke into the industry in 2003 by illustrating Robin #110 and a spot illustration in JLA-Z #3. The following year he illustrated other DC Comics books including Nightwing #88 and Wonder Woman #201, as well as the Marvel Comics' book Marvel Halloween Ashcan 2004. In the ensuing years he illustrated a variety of books for both publishers, such as Marvel Age Hulk, Action Comics and Batman. One of his more notable Batman stories was 2006's Batman Annual #25, which featured the return story of Jason Todd. That same year he illustrated Jay Faerber's series, Noble Causes #17, for Image Comics.
In 2007 Davis illustrated the first issue of the JLA/JSA crossover storyline "The Lightning Saga",[2] and then went on to be the penciller for Superman/Batman for issues #44-49.[3] In 2008, Davis was tapped by writer Geoff Johns to be the artist for a Final Crisis tie-in one-shot entitled Rage of the Red Lanterns,[4] which featured a lead-up to a story in the main Green Lantern title and its 2009 crossover Blackest Night.[5] Davis' next project was with writer J. Michael Straczynski on an original graphic novel starring Superman entitled Superman: Earth One.[6][7]
