Did Jim Lee Drop a Batman Casting Hint?

Finally, the worlds of two of my fan passions — Batman and Howard Stern — collide.  ANYWAY…

This is probably nothing, regardless, it is sort of interesting.

Check out this Instagram post by DC Comics CCO/Publisher Jim Lee and pay attention to what he’s reading…

A post shared by Jim Lee (@jimlee) on

In case you didn’t realize it, he’s reading Howard Stern’s (Hey Now!) new book, HOWARD STERN COMES AGAIN (which is damn good by the way) — and he just so happens to stop on the page where Howard writes about his interview with Robert Pattinson (click here to check out the full interview).

Out of ALL the interviews that are included in that book, why show that one in that post?  JL is either epically trolling fans or is subtly making an announcement — though I’m not sure that DC has much say on who is cast as Batman over at Warner Bros.

What do you think?  Is Jim Lee trolling or not?  And is Howard Stern the best interviewer in the history of interviews or what?!  Post your thoughts in the comments section below! – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
