Batman's New Bat-Hat

From time to time, comics have revealed that teams like the Justice League occasionally get together for a group photo. Maybe once a year, or whenever the membership changes. Having managed a few photo shoots in my time, I know how chaotic they can be. Imagine how much more chaotic when the subjects of the photo have personalities ranging from cheery do-gooderism to various forms of mental illness plus an array of disconcerting super-powers. 

Here, Zatanna indulges in some mild tomfoolery by chanting, "taH! evoM ot s'namtaB daeh!" And suddenly Batman's wearing her top hat, much to his annoyance and the chuckles of his super friends. 

I don't think they've ever shown who takes the JL photos, though. Maybe Jimmy Olsen? 
 

Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey

While on the Rio Tempisque in Costa Rica's Palo Verde National Park, we encountered some white-faced monkeys. They're very curious, and one of them hopped down to give me a high five. This shot was taken by another tourist; she turned out to be the voice actress for Zatanna in DC Universe Online, among other roles. 

From the Files of Earl's Comic Collection

I own this comic (though I didn't create this scan - I'm not sure where it came from, only that Google Desktop found it on my hard drive). Makes me want to dig it out and find out why Supergirl and Zatanna are so warm for this guy's icy, abominable form. Finding the comic would be quite a job, though, considering that my collection is tucked away in boxes stacked to the ceiling of our storage room. Sigh.

Zatanna's one of my favourite comic book characters, even if her powers seem a little absurd. She casts magic spells by speaking backwards...
