Zatanna is the daughter of magician Giovanni "John" Zatara Umbrakinesis

who appeared in Golden Age comic books and Sindella, a Dimensional travel
member of the mystical species Homo magi. Her younger
Nature manipulation
cousin, the teenager Zachary Zatara, is also a magician in the
DCU. Zatanna makes her living as a stage illusionist prior to Weather
discovering her magical abilities while investigating the manipulation
disappearance of her father. Her original costume is based Advanced hand-to-
upon her father's costume but substituting fishnet stockings hand combatant
and high heels for slacks. Zatanna's search for her father was
the subject of a storyline[3] which was featured in several titles edited by Julius Schwartz,[4] and in it,
Zatanna interacts with Hawkman and Hawkgirl;[5] battles Batman and Robin while in disguise as a
witch and under the control of the villain the Outsider;[6] and teams with the Atom,[7] Green
Lantern,[8] and the Elongated Man.[9] The series culminated in Justice League of America #51
(February 1967).[10] This Justice League adventure took place during the Batman television craze
when Batman was at the height of his popularity. The premise that the witch in Detective Comics
#336 was Zatanna was perceived as an attempt to get Batman participating in this issue of Justice
League of America no matter how vague the connection to Zatanna's quest was.[11]

She briefly was featured in backup features in Adventure Comics and Supergirl from 1971 to
1973.[12][13] Zatanna assists the Justice League of America on a few missions[14][15] before being
elected to membership in Justice League of America #161 (Dec. 1978).[3][16] Soon after Zatanna
joined the group, the identity of her mother was revealed in a multi-issue storyline.[17] Zatanna
teamed with Superman in DC Comics Presents[18] and with Batman in The Brave and the Bold.[19] A
ten-page short story in DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #5 (Nov.–Dec. 1980) revealed new details
about Zatara's origin and how Zatanna's quest to locate her father began.[20][21] During her tenure
with the Justice League, her power level diminishes, so that she can only control the four elements of
earth, air, fire, and water.[22] She starred in a backup feature in World's Finest Comics #274–278[12]
and the limitation of her powers is reversed in World's Finest Comics #277 (March 1982).[23] She
assists Wonder Woman and several other superheroines in fighting an extraterrestrial threat.[24]
Zatanna once elected as the Justice League chairperson via votes.

At the conclusion of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing "American Gothic" storyline[25] (which was tied to
the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths), John Constantine comes to get Zatanna, Mento and Sargon
the Sorcerer to come together to help demonic and divine forces in other hellish dimensions battle the
entity known as the 'Great Evil Beast'. The séance is held at Wintersgate Manor, the home of Baron
Winters in Georgetown, Washington D.C., which is also a temporal threshold to other planes of
reality. Because Constantine had previously taken Zatanna to a "tantric studies meeting", Zatara will
not let Zatanna out of his sight with Constantine present and, by his very presence, is forced to take
part in the seance to which he was not invited. The Beast, which is so tall that its thumb alone looms
over Hell, takes notice of their group twice. The first glimpse dooms Sargon, whom Zatara convinces
to 'die like a sorcerer' and not break the holding of hands. Sargon burns to death nobly. The second
glimpse starts to literally heat up Zatanna. Zatara willingly takes the effect onto himself, dying (his
smoldering hat lands on the table), but sparing his daughter's life.[26]

Post-Crisis

Zatanna starred in a special solo one-shot in 1987 that featured Zatanna exploring her mother
Sindella's background and battling the villainous sorceress Allura.[27] In Neil Gaiman's The Books of
Magic limited series, Zatanna becomes friends and even temporary guardian to Timothy Hunter, a
boy destined to become the greatest wizard in the world,[28] and his girlfriend Molly who at the time
was cursed by the Queen of the Fairies and unable to touch anything in the human world, including
the ground. After a brief stay, she sent Molly home and Tim wandered off on his own adventures. In
1993, Zatanna starred in her first solo limited series, titled Zatanna: Come Together, which saw her
summoning her mother's spirit and battling the sorcerer Tannarak and a demon called Xaos.

When the Justice League vanish in the past as they attempt to rescue the missing Aquaman, an
emergency protocol set up by Batman assembles a new League, with this team including Jason Blood
as its magical expert. However, when the current threat is identified as Gamemnae, an ancient
Atlantean sorceress who seeks to conquer the world, she uses a quagmire spell to absorb Zatanna and
Tempest into herself. When new League leader Nightwing attempts to order Blood to transform into
Etrigan to help them against Gamemnae, Blood insists that Zatanna is the one they need, sacrificing
himself to Gamemnae's quagmire spell in order to free Zatanna. She subsequently joins Nightwing,
Firestorm and Hawkgirl in travelling back to ancient Atlantis, where Aquaman has been trapped in a
pool of water as a water wraith, Firestorm creating a channel between the pool and the sea before
Zatanna casts a spell that allowed the water-based Aquaman to control the entire ocean as his body,
allowing him to sink Atlantis in the past and present and disrupt Gamemnae's power.

Zatanna starred in another solo one-shot in 2003, Zatanna: Everyday Magic, in which she fought
Nimue Ravensong, a magic-user jealous of Zatanna's ability to use magic naturally and without
committing sacrifices. Nimue seduced and cursed John Constantine, leading Zatanna into conflict
with the wannabe sorceress.[29] In the 2004 limited series Identity Crisis, Zatanna is a member of the
Justice League at the time the villain Doctor Light rapes the Elongated Man's wife, Sue Dibny. When
apprehended, he threatens the JLA members' families. Although Zatanna is prepared to erase Light's
memories of the incident as she had done to other villains with knowledge dangerous to the League,
tampering with Light's mind sparks a debate among the team's members: should the villain's
personality be transformed to prevent him from repeating his crime. Zatanna, Hawkman, and the
Atom (Ray Palmer) vote for such action, while Green Arrow, Black Canary, and Green Lantern vote
against. The Flash (Barry Allen) breaks the tie. Zatanna mind-wipes Light, and the process results in
his intellectual abilities being lowered.[30] In the midst of the process, Batman appears and tries to
stop it. Zatanna freezes him, and the members vote unanimously to erase Batman's memories of the
incident as well.

Her working relationship to Batman sours after he discovers the alteration to his memory. When
Zatanna helps Batman with reconnaissance at one of Ra's al Ghul's Lazarus Pits, she asks him why he
came to her and Batman says: "I needed someone I could trust. But I had to settle for you". After
Infinite Crisis, their relationship appears to have warmed; in Detective Comics #824 he calls her for
information on a card-counter involved in scamming the Penguin. He makes no mention of their
conflict, and casually calls her by her nickname, "Zee".

Catwoman discovers that Zatanna's mind-wipe of Dr. Light in Identity Crisis is not an isolated
occurrence; Catwoman's journey from villain to hero and her resulting efforts to lead a moral life are
retconned as being the result of Zatanna's mental intervention. Catwoman comes to distrust her
memories, motives, and the choices she has made since that incident. In retaliation, Catwoman
shoves Zatanna out a window. Zatanna parry the next attack from Catwoman and freeze her, before
apologize and leaving her.

A 2005 four-issue Zatanna limited series was published as part of Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers
event.[31] In it, at a support group for superheroes, she recounts a failed magical ritual to search for
her father's tomes, during which one of her past spells summons a shapeshifter named Gwydion, who
kills her companions. This trauma, combined with her guilt from her former mind-wipes, robs her of
her powers. With the help of her new apprentice, Misty Kilgore, she captures Gwydion to use as her
own. She eventually regains her confidence and powers, and uses them to defeat Zor, a rogue Time
Tailor who released the Sheeda as a plague to infect and degrade the entire universe. As a reward, the
other Time Tailors allow her one last meeting with her father, who reveals that his books were written
for her, his "greatest spell and gift to the world". In the final battle against the Sheeda, Zatanna casts a
spell to move time and space, retroactively positioning the Seven Soldiers to overthrow the Sheeda.

In Detective Comics #833 (August 2007), it is stated that Zatanna's father was a friend of Thomas
Wayne. Zatara trained Bruce Wayne in the art of escape, and Bruce and Zatanna were childhood
friends, although Batman believes that he has never met her in Justice League of America #51, and
her only memory of meeting him is while she was disguised. Bruce helps Zatanna investigate the
death of one of her former assistants; all clues point to a performer named Ivar Loxias. Loxias is
revealed to be the Joker in disguise; he shoots Zatanna in the throat and incapacitates Batman.
Zatanna is able to heal herself by writing a curing spell in her own blood, and she is instrumental in
foiling the Joker's scheme, driving Joker insane in the process. Bruce puts Zatanna's betrayal behind
him, allowing the two to renew their friendship.

On the "Roll Call" of Justice League of America #22 (August 2008), Zatanna is listed as a part of the
team. Called upon to help with the Red Tornado's restoration in his android form, she aids the League
when they are attacked by a new, powerful iteration of Amazo. During the battle, Zatanna has her
mouth magically removed with her spells, and once again uses her blood to write out spells and
restore it.[32] After that Wonder Woman throws off Amazo's concentration and free Zatanna. Zatanna
then defeats Amazo once and for all by using the Red Tornado's soul. Following this battle, Zatanna
rejoins the team.[33]

Zatanna later accompanies Firestorm, Black Lightning, and Batman to Metropolis after they come to
believe Kimiyo Hoshi has been kidnapped by agents of the covert metahuman team known as the
Shadow Cabinet.[34][35] After a brief conflict, Zatanna and the others are informed by teenage
superheroine Rocket that Kimiyo's perceived abduction was actually a misunderstanding caused by
the Shadow Cabinet's mission to seek out her help in dealing with the cosmic vampire known as
Starbreaker.[36][37] With assistance from Hardware and Icon, Zatanna and her comrades are able to
defeat Starbreaker in a battle in the Himalayas.[38][39][40]

In Gotham City Sirens Zatanna is visited and restrained by Poison Ivy,

who interacts via a tree and asks her if her encounter with Catwoman
changed Selina in any way.[41]

Zatanna takes a leave of absence from the JLA, only to reappear during a
battle with Despero. Once he is defeated, Zatanna informs the League of
the apocalyptic events of the Blackest Night taking place across the
globe.[42] After taking the team to the Hall of Justice to find Firestorm,
she is forced to fight the undead form of her father, continually pitting
the black magic he wields against her own;[43] it is implied she was
successful in banishing the Black Lantern, but was left psychologically
crushed from having to kill her father again.[44] In the aftermath of
Blackest Night, Kimiyo mentions that Zatanna is one of the members
who has left the team.[45]
Zatanna's first New 52
In May 2010 Zatanna received her own solo series, written by Paul Dini costume. Art by Mikel
and drawn by Stéphane Roux. No longer an active member of the JLA, Janin.
Zatanna is asked by officer Dale Colton to help solve a murder case at a
restaurant frequented by mobsters. Zatanna informs Dale that the
murderer was a powerful sorcerer known as Brother Night, who rules the supernatural crime scene in
San Francisco. After Zatanna shows up at Night's demonic nightclub and threatens him, he responds
by calling upon a powerful nightmare demon for help in battling her,[46] but Zatanna defeats and
imprisons the demon to aid her later.[47] A crooked casino owner who had made a deal for eternal
youth with the demon of avarice by selling the souls of his brides to the demon attempts to use a love
potion to win Zatanna's soul.[48] When her cousin Zachary Zatara breaks the spell, the casino owner
begs Zatanna to turn him into a soulless lump of gold in order to escape torment in Hell.[49] Aside
from Brother Night, Zatanna faces other threats, such as Oscar Hample, a man who tried to murder
her when she was a child and was turned into a puppet by her father.[50][51][52][53] The Zatanna series
ended with issue #16 (October 2011).

The New 52

12/28/21, 1:53 PM Zatanna - Wikipedia

In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. Zatanna is one of the main characters in
Peter Milligan's Justice League Dark series. She sports a new costume, though she still wears her
classic magician's outfit during shows. In the first issue, she learns that Superman, Wonder Woman,
and Cyborg have been defeated by the Enchantress and volunteers her services to the League.[54]

The Black Canary and Zatanna graphic novel Bloodspell written by Paul Dini and drawn by Joe
Quinones was to be released in 2012, but was delayed until May 2014.[55] The story centers around a
16-year-old Black Canary's first meeting with Zatanna.[56]

DC Rebirth

Zatanna makes her first appearance in Detective Comics #958, assisting Bruce in taking out a robot
chasing after a cult member. Later on, it is revealed Bruce would like to see her in hopes that she will
teach him more about magic that would revive Tim Drake.

After the conclusion of the main storyline of the DC Rebirth Batwoman series, Zatanna is implied to
be an outpatient therapist of sorts for Beth Kane, Kate Kane's twin sister.[57]

In 2018, a new Justice League Dark series began, with a redesigned Zatanna being part of the
team.[58] Zatanna travels to Northern Italy to bind a group of demons called Il Osservatori in a 2018
story called Zatanna: Sleight of Hand, published in the DC New Talent Showcase 2018 #1.[59]

Relationships
In comics taking place in the mainstream continuity, Zatanna has had various relationships with
other DC Characters, including John Constantine (with whom she practiced tantra) and Doctor
Thirteen.[60] Zatanna also had a flirtational relationship with her fellow Justice Leaguer Barry Allen /
the Flash shortly after the death of his wife Iris.[61] In The New 52: Futures End timeline, Zatanna is
romantically involved with Jason Blood / Etrigan the Demon.[62][63] In the Mystik U universe,
Zatanna pursued a romantic relationship with Sebastian Faust, the son of infamous sorcerer Felix
Faust.[64]

She has a strong friendship with Batman due to their shared (retconned) pasts. In Detective Comics
#843-844, Zatanna and Bruce briefly discuss the possibility of having a more meaningful
relationship. Both later concede that Bruce is too devoted to his cause as Batman to give her the
relationship she wishes for, but the pair reaffirm their bond as close friends. Catwoman once
considered Zatanna a more dangerous contender for Bruce's attentions than Jezebel Jet, his fiancé at
the time.[65] A pep talk between the two women confirms how Zatanna really meant, during the
fateful discussion with Bruce, to explore the possibility of a true romance, but turned out quietly
resigned to the role of best friend and confidant. Claiming to act on Bruce's best interest, she pushes
Selina into confessing her feelings to Bruce, thus stealing him from Jezebel Jet before it is too late.[66]

In mainstream media, DC Animated Universe touches on Bruce and Zatanna's closeness depicted as
her having had a crush on him while he trained under her father as "John Smith", though she later
found out his real name. Decades later, an elderly Bruce is shown to still care for her as he keeps a
picture of her along with pictures of his other love interests in a file in the Batcomputer. In the TV
series Young Justice, Zatanna has a flirtatious and possibly romantic friendship with Dick Grayson /
Robin during Season 1. Dick later says that they have a "history" in Season 2 (five years after Season
1), implying that they dated and eventually broke up but still remained close.

Powers and abilities

An expert magician with knowledge of an immeasurable number of spells, Zatanna is considered one
of the most powerful magicians in the world of DC Universe; as a member of the Homo magi, she
possess both the genetic ability to use magic and has mastery over both mystical and cosmic forces
considered to be as old as the universe. Her prowess earned her the title of both "Mistress of Magic"
and is also hailed as "Sorceress Supreme", the latter title usually given to Doctor Fate.[67][68] She is
often depicted working alongside other, heroic peers considered among the most powerful magic-
users on Earth such as Madame Xanadu, John Constantine, Jason Blood/Etrigan, Doctor Fate,
Sebastian Faust, and Tempest.

As tribute and a method to concentrate, Zatanna usually casts spells by speaking backwards (known
as "Logomancy") for a variety of magical effects such as teleportation, healing, manipulate the mind of
others, and more. Zatanna can also cast spells and other magics normally and by others means.[69][67]
While not as adept as Madame Xanadu, Zatanna has proven herself able to call upon tarot reading for
insight or divination, a skillset that does not require verbal incantations, spoken or written, at all, nor
is it tied to a specific tarot deck.[66] Her magical powers increase if not used,[70] but overuse can
deplete them to the point that further use strains her physical well-being; as with other magical users,
the only way to restore her waning powers is an extended period of rest. Furthermore, her powers
seems tied to her self-confidence, as the long series of blunders described in Seven Soldiers left her
both emotionally and psychologically shattered, powerless, until she was able to restore her lost
confidence.

In addition to her magical abilities, Zatanna is a skilled illusionist, showgirl and stage magician even
without resorting to her innate magical powers. She considers part of her "training" exercising sleight
of hand tricks, and she claims to have invented a variation of the three-card monte called the "Zatara
shuffle", in which she is so fast and precise that, even without resorting to cheating, only skilled
gamblers like Selina Kyle are able to follow the movements of her hands. Zatanna is also a skilled
hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained by her father during her childhood. She is highly
trained in escape artistry, having learned how to get out of a straightjacket underwater in
Kindergarten and between her magic show acts.

Other versions

DC Super Dictionary

The 1978 DC Super Dictionary invented a character, Conjura, who had the same magic ability as
Zatanna, in addition to possessing a time-traveling amulet. While possessing similar powers, the
character was visually distinct from Zatanna, depicting her as a dark-skinned woman in a purple
jumpsuit, jackboots, and yellow turban with a long cape.[71]

Earth-3
Annataz Arataz, Zatanna's evil Earth-3 counterpart, assists Superman-Prime to detain and
torment Mr. Mxyzptlk in Countdown to Final Crisis #23. The imp refuses to provide Prime with

allows herself to be killed by the enraged villain. Her spells are recited "upside-down", rather than
backwards.

DC Bombshells

In the DC Bombshells continuity, Zatanna was the daughter of a Jewish father and a Romani mother
during World War II, but was prevented from being sent to the concentration camps thanks to the
Joker's Daughter, who in return, forced her to perform magic to aid the Third Reich. Her lover, John
Constantine, confronted her during one of her shows in an attempt to rescue her, but knowing they
were surrounded, Zatanna transformed John into a rabbit and kept him under her care to prevent his
death. He eventually convinces her to use her magic to aid the Allies, which she does by transforming
her soul into a large, spiritual dove that aids Batwoman in freeing a refugee camp. Their attempts are
discovered by the Nazis, and the two are depowered of their magic (with John being turned back into
a human) and sent into the ghettos. Zatanna slowly gains her powers back over time, and finds a
kindred spirit in another magic user imprisoned by the Joker's Daughter, Raven. They eventually
defeat and depower the Joker's Daughter after allying herself with the Bombshells.

In other media

Television

Animation
Zatanna has made multiple appearances in the DC Animated Universe:
Zatanna first appears in a Batman: The Animated Series episode, voiced by Julie Brown. She
is an illusionist with no apparent magic powers. She developed a close relationship with Bruce
Wayne (using the alias John Smith) during the years in which Bruce was traveling the globe
learning skills from Zatanna's father that later serves well as Batman; in particular, escape
artistry. In the episode "Zatanna", she visits Gotham City with her magic show, but finds
herself being framed by criminal magic debunker Montague Kane. Batman helps Zatanna
clear her name, and by the end of their confrontation with Kane, she realizes Batman is really
"John Smith". At the end of the episode, the two promise to keep in touch, as dear friends.

Zatanna makes two appearances in the Gotham Girls flash animation episodes, voiced by Stacie
Randall. In "A Little Night Magic", Zatanna walks home on her own after a magic show and has some
adventures on the way: She turns a robber's gun into a snake, splits a truck in half when it almost runs
her over, and turns some street thugs into toads after they take her hat. In "Hold the Tiger", Zatanna
stops Catwoman from stealing the Cat's Eye Opals from a jewelry store. Zatanna does not arrest
Catwoman but instead asks for help in finding her white tiger.

Zatanna made a cameo appearance in Batman Beyond. In

the episode "Out of the Past", an elderly Bruce Wayne is
looking through a collection of pictures on his computer of
past loves, alongside Lois Lane, Catwoman, and Barbara
Gordon.

Zatanna reappears in the Justice League Unlimited, voiced by

Jennifer Hale (in "This Little Piggy") and by Juliet Landau (in
"The Balance", albeit uncredited). In "This Little Piggy", she helps
Batman search for Circe after the villainess turned Wonder
Woman into a pig. Zatanna is apparently aware of Batman's true Zatanna seen in Gotham Girls.
identity since her last appearance ("Bruce! I haven't seen you for
so long...") and knows well enough to perceive the Dark Knight's
romantic relationship with Wonder Woman. It's revealed that after her encounter
with Batman that she somehow came across actual magic power, which she now
uses to help people as a crimefighter and secretly uses them at the same time
during her magic show tours for public entertainment. Like her comic book
counterpart, her spells are often cast backwards, but almost equally often cast
without words, and on one occasion, speaking normally. Zatanna also appeared in
"The Balance" amongst the magic-based superheroes affected by the disturbance in
the magical balance. In "Destroyer", Zatanna appears as one of many Justice
League members called to help fight the invading Apokoliptan forces. DCAU writer
Paul Dini wrote both of Zatanna's appearances described above. In 1998, Alan
Burnett told Wizard: "Paul Dini wanted to use Zatanna because he's secretly in love
with her. It's something we try not to talk about too much".

Two episodes of a Cartoon Monsoon contest entry feature Zatanna as a

teenage hero who is a cross between Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and Buffy
the Vampire Slayer, voiced by Tara Strong. This saw her match wits with
Klarion the Witch Boy, and featured her father (referred to only as "Zatara") as Zatanna as
well as the new character of Zatanna's older, non-magic-wielding brother seen in Justice
(named "Damon" in the second episode). League

Zatanna appears in Batman: The Brave and the Bold, with Jennifer Hale
reprising her role. In the teaser of "Chill of the Night!", she and Batman stop
Abra Kadabra from robbing a museum exhibit displaying the
history of magicians. Though she relies primarily on vocal
spells, she is shown to be able to effectively wield Kadabra's
magic wand after Abra gags her mouth shut and when she
tries to remove it she pulls out a stream of handkerchiefs
stuffed in her mouth. Zatanna gets Kadabra's wand and
makes the handkerchiefs disappear, then snaps the wand.
While Batman holds back the mind control slaves, Zatanna
battles Kadabra, and traps Abra in her hat. She later pulls out
a tiny bird cage with Kadabra in it, winning the magic battle.

Zatanna appears in the Young Justice cartoon series,[80] voiced by Lacey Chabert. This version is only
fourteen years old at the beginning, and as such her romantic entanglements involving Batman are
instead transferred to Robin. In the episode "Humanity", Zatara initially brings Zatanna to Mount

Justice in Happy Harbor to meet the team, and asks the kids give
Zatanna a tour of Mount Justice. They pretend to go along with that
request, quickly use Miss Martian's ship to leave the cave and track
down Red Tornado with Zatanna, referring to her departure with them
as "kidnapping". Zatara was displeased that his daughter went on a
mission with the team. Robin seems to have an interest in her. She
returns in the episode "Secrets", where she and Artemis head to
Manhattan on Halloween night. They are ambushed and eventually
captured by Harm, a psychotic teenager wielding the mystical sword of
Beowulf. While Harm interrogates Artemis, Zatanna attempts to
conjure a spell through her gag. The ghost of Harm's murdered sister,
Secret, soon appears and removes the tape from Zatanna's mouth,
allowing her to rescue Artemis. Together, the three girls defeat Harm
and allow Secret's spirit to move on to the afterlife. Afterwards,

previously been buried in Harm's backyard. In "Misplaced", Zatanna is
with the team when all the adults disappear. She is able to use a spell to
locate Klarion the Witch Boy on Roanoke Island. As her powers seem ineffective against Klarion (he
refers to them as "baby magic"), she dons the Helmet of Fate as a last-ditch effort. After Klarion
escapes, Nabu refuses to relinquish Zatanna as his host, until her father offers himself as Nabu's host.
After making Batman promise to take care of her, Zatara dons the helmet and leaves Zatanna with the
rest of the team. She then moves into Mount Justice with Miss Martian and Superboy and joins the
team full-time. She is shown to be clearly devastated by the loss of her father. In "Happy New Year",
she and Rocket are now shown as adult members of the Justice League. In the episode "Depths",
Nightwing implies a past romantic relationship between them to explain why she was willing to
provide him with an enchanted amulet without asking for its purpose. In "Satisfaction", Zatanna and
Miss Martian attend Rocket's bridal shower, and fight Captain Cold alongside Bumblebee, Black
Canary, Wonder Girl, and Batgirl. In "Cornered", Zatanna, Captain Marvel, and the team battle
Despero in the Hall of Justice. She helps by possessing Mal and backfiring Despero's powers on
himself. In "Intervention", she assists Rocket in capturing Blue Beetle and releasing him from the
Reach. In season 3, it is shown that Nabu, Zatara and Zatanna have agreement in which Zatanna
could meet Zatara one hour per years. In "Early Warning", Zatanna with enchanted amulet to hide her
appearances helps the Outsider team battling Klarion and his Project Rutabaga monster. Zatanna
manages to change the monster back into the meta human victims and deleting Klarion markings
from them. Zatanna then orders Beast Boy to stay away and then sending both of her and Klarion to
the Tower of Fate, effectively sealing him there.

Zatanna appears in Mad. In episode 46, Zatanna is among the superheroes that ask Superman,
Batman, and Wonder Woman about being called "Super Friends". In episode 50, Zatanna (voiced
by Tara Strong) appears on a skit called "Potions 11" where she teams up with Harry Potter, Ron
Weasley, and Hermione Granger for their heist.
Zatanna appears only in the intro of the Robot Chicken DC Comics Special with the Justice
League.
Zatanna appears in Justice League Action, with Lacey Chabert reprising the role while her child
form is voiced by Dayci Brookshire. In the episode "Zombie King", she and Swamp Thing help
Batman fight Solomon Grundy when he raises an army of zombies with a magical gem. In "Trick
or Threat", she, Batman, Doctor Fate, and John Constantine are turned into children by Klarion
the Witch Boy so that he can lure them into a trap at the House of Mystery and steal the Helmet of
Fate. In "Speed Demon", Zatanna helps Batman defeat Harley Quinn who had been enchanted
by Brother Night. During the confrontation with Brother Night, Ember, and the rest of Brother
Night's followers, Brother Night enchants the Batmobile where it wraps and gags, Zatanna while

separating her from her hat and takes her on a ride causing Batman to enlist Etrigan the Demon
for help. After Batman and Etrigan the Demon free Zatanna and have both the enchanted
Batmobile and the ice cream truck that was enchanted by Merlin teleported to Brother Night's lair,
Brother Night and his followers get away as Batman and Zatanna claim the enchanted orb that
Brother Night used on the Batmobile that he left behind. In the episode "Hat Trick", Zatanna was
helping Batman and Jason Blood fight the possessed mannequins until Felix Faust appears and
makes off with her hat. Upon tracing Felix Faust to the Hebrides, Batman, Zatanna, and Etrigan
the Demon are transported there by Merlin. Once there, they find that Felix Faust is using
Zatanna's hat to summon the demon Ghast on the world as a way to regain his youth. Once that
was done, Zatanna engages Felix Faust in battle while Batman and Etrigan the Demon work to
prevent Ghast from reaching the mainland. As Felix Faust animates a gargoyle, Zatanna uses
every trick in her arsenal where she destroys the gargoyle and chains Felix Faust up with the
chains she conjured. Once Zatanna regains her hat, she casts a spell to send Ghast back to
where he came from.
Zatanna appears as a central protagonist in the DC Super Hero Girls TV series. The voice role is
reprised by Kari Wahlgren. In this series, she's a teenager at Metropolis High, has purple hair and
is both a dramatic fashionista (providing Wonder Woman with her alter ego as Greek exchange
student, Diana Prince) and an entertainer for birthday parties. While Zatanna's personality is
based on her Young Justice counterpart, she is not a rebel type but still loves her father.
Zatanna has a minor, non-speaking role in Harley Quinn. In "So You Need A Crew?", she appears
in a flashback where she helps the Justice League defeat the Queen of Fables by sealing her in a
U.S. Master Tax Guide Book. In "The Line", a court order forces her to release Queen of Fables
from the book. In "A Fight Worth Fighting For", Zatanna is called by Batman to release the other
members of the Justice League, who were prievously imprisoned in a book by the Queen of
Fables, before leaving with them to defeat Doctor Psycho and his army of Parademons.

Live-action

Zatanna is a recurring character in the final three seasons of Smallville,

portrayed by actress Serinda Swan, marking her first appearance in live-
action. The character first appeared late in season eight, in the episode
"Hex". She is described as the daughter of the deceased John Zatara, "the
world's greatest magician". Zatanna is introduced at the Ace of Clubs, the
scene of Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack)'s birthday party. To enliven
things, Zatanna uses magic to make characters' inner desires come true—
Chloe is physically transformed to resemble her cousin, Lois Lane (Erica
Durance), for example, and Clark (Tom Welling) becomes "normal".
Zatanna later approaches Oliver Queen (Justin Hartley) and offers him a
deal: she will grant him a wish if he returns her father's magical book to
her. Once she acquires the Book of Zatara from Green Arrow, whom she Serinda Swan as Zatanna
recognizes as Oliver, she reveals her aim is to use it to resurrect her Zatara in Smallville.
father. Because Clark is vulnerable to magic, and Oliver lacks the power
to stop her, Zatanna has to realize for herself that her father sacrificed
himself so she could live. She later goes to Oliver to explain herself, and decides to help him if he
encounters any supernatural foes along the way by leaving him her phone number. Swan reprises the
role in the ninth season of Smallville in the episode titled "Warrior". In season ten episodes which
feature the government attempting to hunt down the Justice League, Zatanna's picture is shown
among their targets. Although not portrayed by Swan, an actor in costume represents Zatanna in the
episode "Icarus". In the episode "Fortune", Zatanna is used as a plot device; the episode establishes
her as having sent an enchanted bottle of wine to Clark and Lois on the night of their engagement
party, which sets the events of that episode in motion.

Film

team of the same name), part of DC Extended Universe.[82][83]
In 2019, Zatanna was rumored to appear in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, the sequel to
David Ayer's Suicide Squad, but Gunn debunked the rumour saying he "never considered
Zatanna being in the film [[The Suicide Squad]]".[84]
A Zatanna movie is in development by Warner Bros., with Emerald Fennell writing the film.[85][86]
