Justice League member Zatanna has paid homage to Taylor Swift’s upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, in official DC artwork that has ignited a frenzy of excitement among DC fans and Swifties alike. This tribute has sparked various fan theories, with some speculating about a potential collaboration between DC and Swift, the announcement of a new Zatanna series, or even the highly anticipated return of the Young Justice TV series.
In the wake of Taylor Swift’s announcement regarding the forthcoming release of The Tortured Poets Department, DC Official unveiled an image featuring Young Justice’s Zatanna Zatara. What set this post apart was its striking resemblance to Swift’s announcement post for her new album that she made on February 4.
The uncanny similarities between the two posts leave no doubt that this was a deliberate homage from DC to Taylor Swift. Yet, one lingering question remains: Could DC be hinting at something bigger with this tribute?
Zatanna Zatara Pays Tribute to Taylor Swift’s New Album, The Tortured Poets Department
Taylor Swift’s post showcases a monochromatic image of herself reclining on a bed of pillows, her face partially obscured. In a parallel fashion, DC’s post features Zatanna in a similar pose and setting, employing the same monochromatic color palette. While Swift’s picture bears the label The Tortured Poets Department, DC adopts this wording but gives it a unique Zatanna-inspired twist, dubbing it “The Tortured Magicians Department.” Furthermore, Swift’s caption, “All’s fair in love and poetry,” is once again copied by DC, “All’s fair in love and magic.” These striking parallels represent the most obvious similarities between the two posts.
The emulation of Swift’s post has left fans speculating about DC’s intentions and whether the post extends beyond a mere tribute. Some have proposed the intriguing possibility of a collaboration between Taylor Swift and DC, noting the mutual references to each other’s work. Swift, for instance, named one of her songs after DC’s iconic Superman. Conversely, DC referenced Swift’s track Vigilante Sh*t from her album Midnights in Tales from Earth-6: A Celebration of Stan Lee #1. However, the absence of any DC-related posts from Taylor Swift suggests that this scenario may be less probable.
Could DC Be Hinting at the Return of the Young Justice TV Series?
While numerous theories circulate regarding the implications of DC’s Zatanna post, the prevailing notion suggests that it could be a subtle nod to the potential return of the animated TV series, Young Justice. This speculation gains momentum due to the fact that the version of Zatanna featured in the post is her character design from Young Justice. Given Taylor Swift’s reputation for dropping cryptic hints about her forthcoming projects, she would indeed be the perfect artist for DC to emulate if they intended to drop enigmatic clues about an upcoming Zatanna or Young Justice endeavor.
