Zatanna Zatara, also known simply as Zatanna, is a DC Comics superhero.
She is a wizard, the daughter of two other wizards, and shares the family's inherent ability to cast powerful spells; like her father, John Zatara, she does this by describing the desired effect in sdrawkcab hceeps .
She was a stage illusionist before she discovered her true magic powers when investigating the disappearance of her father. The story of this search was the subject of the first major comic book crossover story arc as she meets various superheroes like Batman, Hawkman and Hawkwoman and Green Lantern.
She later joined the Justice League of America in a tenure where her powers were limited to magic relating to the elements. After her departure from the team, she regained her full power and she continues her stage career with the additional calling as a sentinel against mystical threats.
In 2005 Zatanna is one of the main 7 in Grant Morrison's 30 comic mini-series Seven Soldiers of Victory.
Other Media Depiction
The animated version of Zatanna first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series where she was depicted as simply being an illusionist with no apparent magic powers who was a close friend of Bruce Wayne when he was trained by her and father.
Since then, further depictions both on online Flash animation shorts and in Justice League Unlimited have had her with her powers. In addition, there were also two episodes of a Cartoon Monsoon contest entry where Zatanna was a teenage hero who was more like a cross of Sabrina The Teenage Witch and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
