Hickman tweeted out an image of the famous “O Captain! My Captain!” scene at the end of 1989’s Dead Poets Society. While the intention behind the photo is somewhat cryptic, the reference to the film is clear, as the scene takes place when the the former students of John Keating (Robin Williams) defiantly recite Walt Whitman’s eulogic poem in support of their teacher.

This isn’t the first time the idea that Hickman might be making the move to DC has surfaced. In August, DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee met with Hickman for lunch, though it’s not clear what they discussed. “Having lunch w/ @JHickman at the WB commissary,” Lee wrote. “World domination plans on hold as we succumb to the temptation of #avocadotoast.#dccomics.”
