Lets say z!=0, and zeC(is complex).
So for example is z=2+3i.
z^0=1 => (2+3i)^0=1. I am correct? I know that all numbers in zero make us one,but it works with complex numbers too?

Yes.
It works in the case of complex numbers as well.

In general, though, the topic of exponentiation and logarithms of complex numbers is a nasty subject, where we have to be very careful when dealing with them.
