In 1981, Timm was given his first animation job with Filmation Studios as a layout artist for Blackstar. He joined Don Bluth Productions as an assistant animator for the feature film The Secret of NIMH in 1982.

Bruce joined Warner Bros. in 1989 as a storyboard artist and character designer for Tiny Toon Adventures. Bruce heard of a new Batman cartoon that Warner Bros. was planning, so he prepared a few designs of Batman and characters, then presented them in the next production meeting. With those designs, he became a co-creator and producer for Batman: The Animated Series, which premiered in 1992, the time of the Tim Burton's Batman Returns. That series led to Batman Gotham Knights (also known as The New Batman Adventures), which was set two years after the end of B:TAS. That series aired along side the previously premiered Superman: The Animated Series, of which he was the co-creator. He then became co-creator of Batman Beyond, a series that featured a new person under the Batman mask, in 1999. He finally stepped up and became series creator, and producer, of Justice League (currently Justice League Unlimited).
