                                                                 Dark Bats and Magical Hats

                                                        I looked to the sky as the night filled with
                                                                      smoke and evil eyes
                                                   all of Gotham, teeming with deranged monsters
                                                                       and awash in blood
                                                       I cast an array of hexes and magic spells
                                                     that roared with the sounds of thunder and
                                                                            ringing bells
                                                      on my own, I couldn't bring forth the light
                                                         until at my side, came the dark knight
                                                     striking swift and silent, from shadows deep
                                                         besting every thug, monster, and freak
                                                       from up on high, descending from the sky
                                                      came a warrior clad in the armor of the bat
                                                       the greatest hero Gotham has ever known
                                                            through the darkest of days and the
                                                                    witching hour of the night
                                                      we stood together, braving the endless fight
                                                        as the wicked took Gotham and turned it
                                                                            to hell on Earth
                                                                    the innocent bled and cried
                                                     the dark knight and I, standing united, waged
                                                                          the one sided war
                                                          a battle that was well worth fighting for
                                                        a sorceress, casting spells and magic light
                                                    and a warrior, striking terror from the shadows
                                                                             of the night
                                                         with tempered steel and a magic wand
                                                     we defeated every thug, monster, and freak
                                                  and sent them fleeing back to the shadows deep
                                                    dark or day, Gotham will have nothing to fear
                                                            watching over, we'll always be here
                                                         an ebon winged knight, who's never far
                                                  and a sultry sorceress, who casts her magic upon
                                                                               the stars
                                             
The second in my series of poems about a male and female superhero teaming up, this one being about Batman and Zatanna. The two of them actually did team up in the comics/cartoons and the two of them worked real well together. Zatanna would cast her magic while batman would fight physically and with trickery. They're often considered "weak" superheros due to the fact that they don't have many superpowers, although I think that that's bull. Zatanna's magic makes here very formidable, and Batman's formidable skills and wealth of weapons and tools puts him on par with super-powered individuals. In fact, I think that makes them even more amazing, the fact that they can do so much without a lot of superpowers.

Anyway, This poem is from Zatanna's point of view. I often have trouble doing a woman's point of view, but this one came out rather well. I aimed for a dark, but magical feel to it. The knight and sorceress imagery worked incredibly well. In fact, if they ever do a story where they go back to the middle ages, I think Batman would be a knight and Zatanna would be a benevolent sorceress. This poem glorifies batman a bit, but I think it works, considering that Zatanna does have a bit of a thing for him. They're my favorite male/female superhero combo, partly because they go so well together.
