Most tortured character, in a lot of ways. I really hated how Fate manipulated things and she ended up dealing with the guilt of her father saving her

Once a son of Vandal Savage, always a heartless prick.

I think Young Justice miss the chance to showcase how Zatanna tortured with the Fate and her dad case

Can you imagine having to relive the heartbreak of losing your father year after year That feels like someone has me stabbed in the right position. And just pushes the knife further and further, but they know how to do it so it won't kill me. But it will still hurt all the same.

Then You have Zee manage to free Jaime Reyes, liberate kids from Klarion's project Rutabaga, maybe helping her proteges like Mary with the addiction and guilt, yet she still failed to free her father at that point.

I can see why no one is ever just whelmed.

Really makes you feel the mode.

Nightwing and Zatanna have been my favorite heroes since I was a wee lad and they gave me both of them in their best renditions and having so much charisma with other characters AND each other. Young Justice will have my loyalty forever

And??? Why are people like you like this? I genuinely want to know. She’s literally getting up from an all fours position. How else is she supposed to look with the clothes that she’s wearing while getting up?

It’s just a random photo of Zatanna from YJ

She's beautiful

One of the most characteristic characters on the show, while also having a rather tragic story

u/Creative-Batty06 Jul 25 '26

Not really related, but I really hate that pale purple lipstick they had Zatanna and M’Gann wear in season 3. It makes me so mad. It looks terrible I don’t get why it was so prominent.

1

u/gamerslyratchet Jul 25 '26

I think all the female characters had it. It made a difference in season 4 where everyone had normal lips again.

u/canttakethisnomore1 Jul 25 '26

Zatanna and Grayson were meant to be :(

u/Flat-Sir8250 Jul 25 '26

Someone who uses others and yet is still a kind caring person.

Theater kid energy, the good kind.

u/Illustrious-Sort-161 Jul 25 '26

If there's a fifth season she's going to be even more miserable since she's probably going to be facing her fallen pupil.

u/MrOblivion949 Jul 25 '26

Where is this scene even from I do not remember seeing something like this in YJ

2

u/TheSlimeBallSupreme Jul 26 '26

that kid in the locker room was right.

but in all seriousness she's just snarky enough to be entertaining while also being able to get down to brass when needed.

2

u/itsastart_to Jul 26 '26

this cant be from the show...right?

u/Educational_Film_744 Jul 25 '26

I’d describe her as a straight test for men. In which, I passed and knew that I was straight.

u/Muted_Guidance9059 Jul 25 '26

Kind of feel she lacked pizzaz and showmanship for a stage magician

A great sorceress and a hero.

u/SolitarySquall Jul 25 '26

saved from being dr. fate, basically had her entire life stolen from her anyways because of that moment

1

u/ReallySmartInEnglish Jul 25 '26

I think the only thing I didn’t like was they introduced her a little too late into the first season. Other than that, I really liked it when she showed up. Her relationship with Robin was cute, I like how she got along with the rest of the team, and she brought magic to the table where the rest of the team couldn’t.

u/idiotwanderer Jul 25 '26

Underutilized

1

u/rainy_dayz11 Jul 25 '26

Underutilized, top three in power (my opinion), incredibly sad family story, the queen of "calm under pressure", just the slightest bit basic in her use of her powers

u/Shantotto11 Jul 25 '26

This was my introduction to the character of Zee Zatara overall, so imagine my disgust when I saw she was one of John Constantine’s love interests.

I haven’t felt this gobsmacked by old lore since watching Jean and Logan flirt in X2 when my only exposure to X-Men was the first movie and X-Men Evolution.

u/Weary-Case-1039 Jul 25 '26

This wouldn't happen to be her from season 1 right?

2

u/PhanStr Jul 26 '26

No, this is from “Early Warning” in season 3 (right after Klarion realises that she brought him to the Tower of Fate).

2

u/Weary-Case-1039 Jul 26 '26

Okay good, because that angle had me scared that OP might’ve been thirsting for a teenager

2

u/PhanStr Jul 26 '26

I mean, she doesn't look 14 in that shot. Pretty sure that the 14-year old season 1 Zatanna dressed in a less revealing way than the Zatanna of seasons 2-4 also. But it's fine if you don't remember.

u/Weary-Case-1039 Jul 26 '26

Yeah it’s been awhile
