Zatanna is literally my FAVORITE superhero of all time! She can do just about anything and her entire concept is so original. It really sucks that she's not in mainstream media though.
She's in Injustice, and was in Young Justice. That's more than most characters, obviously besides the Justice League characters
She easily makes the top 5? Top 10 hard to choose from. But definitely a even but on heroine's it is a tie between her and Sue Storm.
Her concept is really original. But the thing is, some people thinks that "Zee is a copycat version of Wanda". Look at some pages. People writed things about that. İt burned me out.
She's the hero who says things backwards
@@-indulgency wanda was always my favourite character even before she got her own show and before being mainstream, 😭 even as a child she was my favourite avenger. I'm aware that she was created to be OP and and made before zatanna but both characters have their differences they are not completely alike.
She's like if Raven had loving parents
On that note, I wonder which character is objectively more powerful, Z or Raven...?
UniquelySamuel I think raven
UniquelySamuel We can love both alright😭😭😭😭😭
😕
UniquelySamuel zatanna would dog walk raven
Awesome character that DC really needs to show more love.
Yup
Even Raven to
I liked a lot her version in the recent Justice League Dark. I hope we see her soon in a live action DC movie because she is a great character.
Wish granted.
Zatanna was an obscure DC character until Paul Dini included her in B:TAS. Dini's then-girlfriend, now wife is a magician named Misty Lee. He revived Zatanna largely as a loving tribute to her, which is pretty romantic.
I think she is pretty popular back then, a strong B-list character indeed like Green Arrow and Powergirl. She even become chairwoman at Justice League of America at Silver Age era (or Bronze if I wrong around chapter 190 to 230s issue), the first from outside the original seven.
Awesome trivia!
God I love Zatanna, She's a Badass with a "Bad"ass I mean you see that outfit.....goddamn. Loved her in Young Justice
you everywhere
JaxBlade iq
JaxBlade HI jax! I'm a fan!
she is fucking hot in Justice League Dark :D
Ssa Dab you mean
Needs her own Stand Alone film.
well sad she wont because all they wanna do is promote wonder girl, superman/woman, batman/girl,joker.
Angel of Sarcasm they should she’s my favorite of the female superheroes
I totally agree. She needs her own film on CW Seed like Vixen got. Plus she needs to show up in The Arrowverse somewhere on the CW !!! Flash or Legends.
Angel of Sarcasm I’d pay to see that!
Angel of Sarcasm jenna dewan should play her
Because, at the end of the day, Superman is just a filthy muggle.
I love Zee, I wish she got a new solo run.
Fran Madaraki She did pre-New 52. Grant Morrison had a run on her in Seven Soliders of Victory. Paul Dini also had a run on her before it got cancelled because the New 52. There were also some older ones but these are my fav. :D
Sarah Kerrigan Yeah I read them all, I loved the Paul Dini run and wish he'd do another one. Blood Spell wasn't bad, but not enough for me.
same
Movie is in development
I dunno. I think if we had a comic run with her and constantine would be interesting
Paul Dini's run of Zatanna is still the best one
Dini modelled Zatanna's look after his own wife
Jepze Grant Morrison’s Zatanna is good too
She should get her own movie or at least make a guest appearance in Arrow and Flash.
HamanKarn567 they're about to start bringing magic to arrow so its possible she could make an appearance
marlon clark Do you know if the Constantine Show is any good? I forgot that there was one lol
HamanKarn567 i dont exackly watch constantine
marlon clark Me neither
HamanKarn567 This is exactly why it's getting cancelled
LOVE Zatanna. She's one of my favorite DC characters
I had a feeling that this bodacious, beautiful, and bewitching leggy beauty of the DC Universe would make a spectacular appearance in this origin spotlight list, albeit backwards.
why "backwards?" How is that possible at all?
1:22 is that batman... smiling???
Must be a Zatanna spell doing.
I love how in young justice fate took her than her dad
Abdul Basit Canceling that show was the biggest mistake ever. I would have loved for a third season to resolve that subplot.
My cold dead eyes blame Cartoon Network and not DC, DC said that the show was canned because CN wasn't selling enough merchandise
Marcz Le Marcz Yeah that's what I heard too in a interview with Paul Dini a few months back. Still CN fucked up plain and simple.
Dovah Cheese
Actually, it was Mattel that put the knife into the heart of YJ. _They_ were the ones selling the toys but the show was attracting the wrong demographics. i.e. Girls (horrors!), teens and young adults.
The toy maker was targeting the "Teen Titans: Go"/"Batman: TAS"crowd.
Good news the shoe is back but Zatara is getting older.
Hell yeah. Zatanna is bar-none the coolest female superhero.
I bet she can kick Voldemort's ass much quicker than Harry Potter
Jake Bryant 😂
Jake Bryant arvedak adava
Gniddup otni tromedloV nrut
guuys you did it wrong XD she spells ONLY WORDS backwards not full sentence
i would kill Voldemort with:
llik eht ylgu draziw tuohtiw eson
One of my most favorite superheroes
My favorite DC character
Zatanna is Awesome!!!
if you like her you should checkout the song Lil T Rin made called Zatanna
Paul Dini does a good job with this character whenever he writes her
She's definitely my favourite female superhero.
When other characters are trying to save a plane they are in from crashing, they have to risk the lives of everyone involved. Zatanna just needs to say "enigne xif" and return to sleep.
Also no one does palindromes as awesome as her, "stack cats", "nurses run", taking down opponents with a horde of cats and nurses.
Zatanna vs. Raven
codster9 zatanna vs dr strange
codster9 Raven isds stupid powerful dude.in the comics she is God level power.
PC Master Race she IS the spawn of a demon so her power is to be expected
talotway people who watched the teen titans TV show and think Raven is at that level.
it's like NO, she is stupid OP
Raven is practically at demon level.
GG, Zatanna.
Zatanna got a movie deal.
Love to see a showdown between Zatanna and the Scarlet Witch!
Well Death Battle already has one so there you go!
Not gonna lie, JLU version is pretty hot 😐
Kyle Rollins what about. young justice
I am a fan of Zatanna 😍
A magician superheroine? Too awesome! I adore magic and I get a kick out of watching magic shows, both real and animated. Zatanna rocks! I love her!
She has size changing abilities? Huh wonder why she doesn't use that ability much
size changing ! wow!!. scoreland are you listening?
I love Zatanna and all the other magic characters in DC. But sometimes I'm actually a little confused because it's quite difficult to determine where the boundaries between people, magic and gods are going.
It always amuses me that her very first appearance in Batman TAS she was just a normal illusionist with no special powers.
That was one of the best episodes from Batman TAS. Zatanna was voiced by Julie Brown. She also did the voices of Julie Bruin and Minerva Mink.
Midsomnyx YA I found that interesting as well, though I think they may have done that to keep either keep the show grounded in a more realistic setting (Clayface I believe was the closest character to having super human powers or abiliteswithout needing weapons or special equipment), or so that there were no heroic characters that were more powerful than Batman at the time (Though this one gets thrown out the window once the Superman Series started and the New Batman Adventures were created.)
Wolfsite i haven't read much comics but what about poison ivy?
cgecko3
I always forget someone. She was a bit more subtle in TAS compared to The New Batman Adventures though. (Well if you count the one episode were she was creating plant clones of real people to create a fake family as subtle).
Watchmojo should make a top 10 best episodes from Batman TAS.
Finally I've been waiting for this!!!!!!!
And to think, magicians are one of my favorite peoples.
Zatanna is the hottest in DC
Thanapat Wacharaprechanont Non sense that title belongs to power girl www.deviantart.com/art/Power-Girl-Premium-Format-Figure-471766982
i really loved her in justice league dark
I'm thinking of cosplaying as her. Outfit seems simple enough
Too slutty to cosplay
+Asian Doctor Who Nerd you've never been to Comic Con, have you?
Bitsy83 Well I've been to the Doctor Who Festival which was just like comic con
+Asian Doctor Who Nerd well, believe me; Zatanna is NOTHING compared to what I've seen other Cosplayers wear. There have been girls walking around in bikinis and guys in speedos. Trust me, what Zatanna wears is very decent if done right.
Bitsy83 sorry i did not mean to offend you
I would so love a zatanna movie, she has a very interesting storyline it would be amazing!
Tseb eht si annataZ. Reh evol I.
!!!rkI
ereht did uoy tahw ees I
She doesn't say the whole sentence backwards. She just says each word backwards. Tub revetahw
+Puppies Kitties they were right. In some it's only the words but usually it's the whole sentence
*I love her. Zatanna is the best.
I remember reading both that 70's issue of "Justice League" (years after it came out) AND the "Secret Origins" issue when it first came out. Always liked her character.
She's one of my favorite characters in the DC universe
Zatanna is one of the most powerful mage in the DC comics
yep, she is :)
Supervillain Origins: Reverse Flash, please!!
daniel tellez hernandez That's professor zoom no one in the comics really calls him that
KON- EL Oh, alright. I just thought that the name "Reverse Flash" would be better to generalize the many people who have taken this identity. But yeah, I want to know the origin of Eobard Thawne :D
daniel tellez hernandez IF it means anything there is actually a villain in the new 52 named reverse flash his name is Daniel west
KON- EL I know :D I also like that version and of course I like the fact that he has my name :3
daniel tellez hernandez that's a bonus then
I like her better with Nightwing in Young Justice vs. the love interest of Batman. Then again, I like most things about Young Justice except cliff hanger at the end of Season 2. Bastards.
There might be a season 3 only for Netflix if we support it enough
+LM zatanna and nightwing is young justice fluff non canon she's really the same age as batman! what next nightwing and catwoman/wonder woman! young justice was trying to hard to turn nightwing into batman!
+xxSpike1989xx YJ made a few adjustments i guess. I mean in that she's robin's age.
She needs her own movie or TV series
NixtonV But what about the future justice league dark movie?
It still needs to get greenlit, right? That would be amazing, but I feel like Zatanna's interesting enough to handle her own film, although maybe that would come after the group movie.
NixtonV Yes but although zatanna is a good character she has no real actual villains of her own or any major life based problems other then her father angle she doesn't have much to go on
In the animated appearances of Zatanna her spells are in fact each word spoken backwards not the spell backwards. Example: ''put me in a red dress'' would be ''tup em ni a der ssed'' I an not familiar with if this applied to the comics as well, but I guess it is pretty safe to assume so.
I like the Origin-Story about ZATANNA, that is from the year1979, and I think it would be great to introduce it in a cartoon show series someday.
I’d LOVE to see her incorporated into the Arrowverse!
LOVE HER LOVE HER LOVE HER SO MUCH. She is my number 1 superheroine crush. Even since I watched Justice League Unlimited she caught my eye
Not to mention her cameos in different books such as Neil Gaiman's Books of Magic which also feature Constantine, Doc Occult and The Stranger.
If Zatanna ever got a movie of her own,what characters would you want to see in it?
I expect his father, maybe Dr. Fate and other magic characters.
Constantine that's it
Interesting. I have an app on my phone that lets me play things I record backwards. Since Zatanna says all her spells backwards, I decided to try recording her spell at 4:28 and playing it backwards to see what it actually said.
It sounded just as nonsensical as it did originally. Odd.
so she is one of the most powerful DC female heros I guess...
Ale Hernandez she's not really a hero, she's bad and good
In Paul Dini's run Zatannas power is limited to not being able to control or cast magic onto any human tissue or organism, thought this was cool because otherwise she is extremely OP
Also would have liked to seen more about the death of her father because it plays a huge role on how she conducts herself as a hero
Since you mentioned him, can you do John Constantine next? It would make sense. I love Hellblazer!
Zatanna is an awesome superheroine; I enjoy her solo comic book series.
Alicia Vikander should play her if they are making a live action movie.
Zatanna and Constantine.I ship them so fucking much!
PTLemon You should read constantines #0 it will fulfill your wishes
KON- EL Thanks for your advice.
Zee and Batman ftw
Marcz Le Marcz Hes got catwoman he doesn't need anymore woman at least that's what hes told her
KON- EL can't a guy dream?
totally dope!
Zatanna Zatara is related to Nostradamus, Alexander di Cagliostro, Nicholas Flamel and ARION She's a version of SCARLET WITCH Blessings and HUGS! 👑💜
Zatanna's pretty OP if you think about it.
What's stopping her from walking up to Superman and saying "Llik Flesruoy"?
This is one of my favorite superheros
Oh my god!!! I asked for this video about a few weeks ago and you did it! Thanks a lot :')
I like Zatanna a lot more pre-52 than new 52.Granted I haven't read much on the new 52 version, but she sounds a lot like she is a "Goth" type character. The original Zatanna had like this whole magician themed act, which was the reason why I liked her...
1:20 > the very rare dwarf Batman makes an appearance in this panel
WatchMojo didnt put and Ending year for Young Justice! Does this Mean the show is coming back?!?! :O
I noticed that. I seriously hope they know something we don't.
Jack Burke Young Justice: Season 3 confirmed!
DINO lazar Considering it ended Two years ago yeah don't get your hopes up
KON- EL yeah I will because it's confirmed for this September so I suggest always having hope sir
haha wow, they really did maybe... YJ getting a season 3
I can definitely part of her magic act.
YUS BAE GET THAT PROMO!!
She’s truly the Mistress of Magic.
Shes amazing.
Zatanna might just be my favourite character in DC Comics
Zantanna my girl! My favourite DC Heroine of all time. Equally to WW.
warren byrne
same
Superhero Origins: Black Canary
Please, Mojo, make that happen!
Can't believe they left out her appearance in "Batman: The Animated Series," her first animated appearance before any of the the shows in the video! If not for that show, I wouldn't have known about Zatanna, an incredibly underrated DC character.
Zatanna*
+Jordan Rose Oh thanks! I don't know what I was thinking!
sometimes I forget that this channel does not commit top 10
Can we see a video on the villain Manchester Black or Mongul?
Wasn't he the main villain in Superman vs The elite?
Yes
ZekeDunbar Technically Manchester black along with the rest of the elite are Anti-heroes (granted very extremists ones)
I can't wait to see her in Guillermo del Toro's Justice League Dark.
She's my favorite DC magic-based character.. Of course I adore her
if you like her. you should checkout song Lil T Rin made called Zatanna
She's my fav hero but its unfortunate how underrated she is
My favorite version of Zatanna is any version voiced by Lacey Chabert. She's my favorite actress.
Same, she's the best Zatanna for me :)
I love these origin vids :D
You should have mentioned the shows she appeared like Justice League, Batman the brave and the bold, Young Justice and even Smallville.
Speaking of Zatanna, the Zatanna challenge is back on INJUSTICE mobile
Zatanna is awesome! BTW, On Injustice: Gods Among Us: Ultimate Edition, Zatanna was voice by Lacey Chabert.
she seriously needs her own movie...
Zatanna, voiced by Gretchen Weiners in YJ.

To those wondering, Young Justice season 3 has been confirmed.
I’d love to see her get a solo movie, I’d cast Sophie Thatcher from Yellowjackets/Prospect/The Boogeyman/Maxxxine as Zatanna
When they were talking about her leaving the comic book pages they never said she was a dlc in injustice gods among us has a playable fighter
I love Zitana so so so much she is my favorite thing in the world💥💫✨🎩🎭💋✌🏽
I loved Zatanna character in young justice
