%X "S¨¢bado en ciudad g¨®tica" ("Saturday in Gotham City") is a poem by the Mexican writer Daniel Ch¨¢vez. It uses the Batman figure as intertextual substrate. The poem creates meanings through extracts from scenes, states and atmospheres of Batman. The poetic text has a meaning that is completed with the symbolic world of the character. Thus, the image becomes an intertextual element of the poem. The result is a poetic text governed by a character of popular culture, whose image works as the anchor between the meanings of the two texts. Finally the scenes create the tragic myth of Batman.
