Black Canary a lift home. Zatanna Zatara: In Detective Comics #843-844, Zatanna and Bruce talk about the possibility of having a more meaningful relationship. But later they both understand that Bruce could not give her the relationship she wishes for due to his focus on crime-fighting. In Batman: The Animated Series, while a young Bruce Wayne studies escape artistry under Zatara the Magician, he has a relationship with Zatara's daughter.
