Superhero Origins: Zatanna

[@tymendes7878]

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.

[@ProstateCrusher]

She's in Injustice, and was in Young Justice. That's more than most characters, obviously besides the Justice League characters

[@ggt47]

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.

[@user-du8zy6rm5k]

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.

[@faithfreeman6593]

She's the hero who says things backwards

[@_.belladonna_]

@@-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.

[@FRISHR]

She's like if Raven had loving parents

[@samuelvine]

On that note, I wonder which character is objectively more powerful, Z or Raven...?

[@toren2099]

UniquelySamuel I think raven

[@adriannemichaels5237]

UniquelySamuel We can love both alright😭😭😭😭😭

[@poisonivy1447]

😕

[@user-qv6pg3mx3i]

UniquelySamuel zatanna would dog walk raven

[@Xshinobi2k8]

Awesome character that DC really needs to show more love.

[@fuzzygamer5018]

Yup

[@fuzzygamer5018]

Even Raven to

[@angelofsarcasm4924]

Needs her own Stand Alone film.

[@georgiathang5188]

well sad she wont because all they wanna do is promote wonder girl, superman/woman, batman/girl,joker.

[@jonarnall7651]

Angel of Sarcasm they should she’s my favorite of the female superheroes

[@robertouttamyndx4400]

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.

[@MaggieCandy999]

Angel of Sarcasm I’d pay to see that!

[@thoughtramblermongersagemo2347]

Angel of Sarcasm jenna dewan should play her

[@finarfin1989]

Because, at the end of the day, Superman is just a filthy muggle.

[@JaxBlade]

God I love Zatanna, She's a Badass with a "Bad"ass I mean you see that outfit.....goddamn. Loved her in Young Justice

[@renarmamiya5397]

you everywhere

[@nathanemmanuel1235]

JaxBlade iq

[@Araraki-Itto1]

JaxBlade HI jax! I'm a fan!

[@TheCetnikSRS]

she is fucking hot in Justice League Dark :D

[@joirocksjewelry]

Ssa Dab you mean

[@gokinsmen]

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.

[@maizen1403]

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.

[@garrett22621]

Awesome trivia!

[@Jepze158]

Paul Dini's run of Zatanna is still the best one

[@iwasanangryyoungman]

Dini modelled Zatanna's look after his own wife

[@mel9019]

Jepze Grant Morrison’s Zatanna is good too

[@cartoon80s90s]

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.

[@luchris94]

Wish granted.

[@franmadaraki8688]

I love Zee, I wish she got a new solo run.

[@Sara-it9se]

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

[@franmadaraki8688]

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.

[@BonBon-od9zm]

same

[@Wow-vc1qt]

Movie is in development

[@yolo-sy6zl]

I dunno. I think if we had a comic run with her and constantine would be interesting

[@MADBD619]

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.

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

why "backwards?" How is that possible at all?

[@HamanKarn567]

She should get her own movie or at least make a guest appearance in Arrow and Flash.

[@cj56478]

HamanKarn567 they're about to start bringing magic to arrow so its possible she could make an appearance

[@HamanKarn567]

marlon clark Do you know if the Constantine Show is any good? I forgot that there was one lol

[@cj56478]

HamanKarn567 i dont exackly watch constantine

[@HamanKarn567]

marlon clark Me neither

[@katanabluejay]

HamanKarn567 This is exactly why it's getting cancelled

[@jade-trinity3873]

LOVE Zatanna. She's one of my favorite DC characters

[@jakebryant3445]

I bet she can kick Voldemort's ass much quicker than Harry Potter

[@noorkaddoura163]

Jake Bryant 😂

[@theduke9923]

Jake Bryant arvedak adava

[@juno_4492]

Gniddup otni tromedloV nrut

[@asz-themoonwalker2771]

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

[@lanigirognithemos]

1:22 is that batman... smiling??? Must be a Zatanna spell doing.

[@icefire1316]

I love how in young justice fate took her than her dad

[@mycolddeadeyes]

Abdul Basit Canceling that show was the biggest mistake ever. I would have loved for a third season to resolve that subplot.

[@CheemsofRegret]

My cold dead eyes blame Cartoon Network and not DC, DC said that the show was canned because CN wasn't selling enough merchandise

[@mycolddeadeyes]

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.

[@nicholashylton6857]

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.

[@andrewpenny4676]

Good news the shoe is back but Zatara is getting older.

[@MarkieDood]

Hell yeah. Zatanna is bar-none the coolest female superhero.

[@rolyngeorges9839]

Zatanna is Awesome!!!

[@dudeswag9549]

if you like her you should checkout the song Lil T Rin made called Zatanna

[@jaykelly6091]

My favorite DC character

[@EpicCurliness]

One of my most favorite superheroes

[@GuyWithAnAmazingHat]

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.

[@philrm99]

Paul Dini does a good job with this character whenever he writes her

[@johnnyfountainS]

Zatanna got a movie deal.

[@codster9]

Zatanna vs. Raven

[@talotway]

codster9 zatanna vs dr strange

[@3rdGenGuy]

codster9 Raven isds stupid powerful dude.in the comics she is God level power.

[@talotway]

PC Master Race she IS the spawn of a demon so her power is to be expected

[@3rdGenGuy]

talotway people who watched the teen titans TV show and think Raven is at that level. it's like NO, she is stupid OP

[@Thearbiter97]

Raven is practically at demon level. GG, Zatanna.

[@elHEARTBREAKER]

Love to see a showdown between Zatanna and the Scarlet Witch!

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

Well Death Battle already has one so there you go!

[@davidnix2399]

Finally I've been waiting for this!!!!!!!

[@elizabethcoen]

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!

[@Midsomnyx]

It always amuses me that her very first appearance in Batman TAS she was just a normal illusionist with no special powers.

[@martinguzman3995]

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.

[@Trialwolf]

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.)

[@cgecko3]

Wolfsite i haven't read much comics but what about poison ivy?

[@Trialwolf]

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).

[@martinguzman3995]

Watchmojo should make a top 10 best episodes from Batman TAS.

[@MrEmperorCJ]

I am a fan of Zatanna 😍

[@BrandonKohout]

And to think, magicians are one of my favorite peoples.

[@cartooningfanart]

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.

[@shadowdramon01]

[@levintine777]

[@1800Hernandez]

[@puppieskitties3508]

She doesn't say the whole sentence backwards. She just says each word backwards. Tub revetahw

[@jordanrose1765]

+Puppies Kitties they were right. In some it's only the words but usually it's the whole sentence

[@falserizufferezek9394]

*I love her. Zatanna is the best.

[@kylerollins6483]

Not gonna lie, JLU version is pretty hot 😐

[@kindkarma6979]

Kyle Rollins what about. young justice

[@KingdomofEvania100]

She's one of my favorite characters in the DC universe

[@ricksmith6637]

i really loved her in justice league dark

[@jakebryant3445]

She has size changing abilities? Huh wonder why she doesn't use that ability much

[@entertainmentanalyst1559]

size changing ! wow!!. scoreland are you listening?

[@yaburu]

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.

[@Bitsy83]

I'm thinking of cosplaying as her. Outfit seems simple enough

[@AsianDoctorWhoNerd]

Too slutty to cosplay

[@Bitsy83]

+Asian Doctor Who Nerd you've never been to Comic Con, have you?

[@AsianDoctorWhoNerd]

Bitsy83 Well I've been to the Doctor Who Festival which was just like comic con

[@Bitsy83]

+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.

[@AsianDoctorWhoNerd]

Bitsy83 sorry i did not mean to offend you

[@avonsmainstar]

I would so love a zatanna movie, she has a very interesting storyline it would be amazing!

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

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.

[@katerinap.6153]

Oh my god!!! I asked for this video about a few weeks ago and you did it! Thanks a lot :')

[@ThacoBell]

Zatanna is the hottest in DC

[@Burning-Twilight]

Thanapat Wacharaprechanont Non sense that title belongs to power girl www.deviantart.com/art/Power-Girl-Premium-Format-Figure-471766982

[@briandaleske5139]

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.

[@NixtonV]

She needs her own movie or TV series

[@Burning-Twilight]

NixtonV But what about the future justice league dark movie?

[@NixtonV]

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.

[@Burning-Twilight]

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

[@dbxvhero9006]

Speaking of Zatanna, the Zatanna challenge is back on INJUSTICE mobile

[@mackyvelo7801]

Zatanna is one of the most powerful mage in the DC comics

[@BonBon-od9zm]

yep, she is :)

[@Blackwing2040]

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

[@britelitecity283]

YUS BAE GET THAT PROMO!!

[@BrandonKohout]

I can definitely part of her magic act.

[@martinnguyen2458]

Zatanna is an awesome superheroine; I enjoy her solo comic book series.

[@kingston4313]

Alicia Vikander should play her if they are making a live action movie.

[@BrandonKohout]

She’s truly the Mistress of Magic.

[@VegetaThoughts]

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.

[@DJG333]

There might be a season 3 only for Netflix if we support it enough

[@xxSpike1989xx]

+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!

[@epicchannel758]

+xxSpike1989xx YJ made a few adjustments i guess. I mean in that she's robin's age.

[@markherron1407]

Zatanna Zatara is related to Nostradamus, Alexander di Cagliostro, Nicholas Flamel and ARION She's a version of SCARLET WITCH Blessings and HUGS! 👑💜

[@Yust1234]

This is one of my favorite superheros

[@Lohnstar_]

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.

[@williamtovar8860]

totally dope!

[@kkakkss]

I’d LOVE to see her incorporated into the Arrowverse!

she seriously needs her own movie...

[@blakester3043]

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.

[@olgierds.9552]

Superhero Origins: Black Canary Please, Mojo, make that happen!

[@thomson4247]

I love these origin vids :D

[@mrpickles4813]

sometimes I forget that this channel does not commit top 10

[@georgiasmith7581]

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

[@silkyise]

To those wondering, Young Justice season 3 has been confirmed.

[@Fiddlewink3rd]

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...

[@solaceboy]

I can't wait to see her in Guillermo del Toro's Justice League Dark.

[@loyenredhawk2489]

If Zatanna ever got a movie of her own,what characters would you want to see in it?

[@oswiroa4973]

I expect his father, maybe Dr. Fate and other magic characters.

[@NigelJinx]

Constantine that's it

[@NicoleFast]

Zatanna might just be my favourite character in DC Comics

[@kitzatara]

Oh my gosh i love her great video!!!!!

[@gummy787]

[@bluejsky409]

[@Burning-Twilight]

daniel tellez hernandez That's professor zoom no one in the comics really calls him that

[@dannnydoom]

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

[@Burning-Twilight]

daniel tellez hernandez IF it means anything there is actually a villain in the new 52 named reverse flash his name is Daniel west

[@dannnydoom]

KON- EL I know :D I also like that version and of course I like the fact that he has my name :3

[@Burning-Twilight]

daniel tellez hernandez that's a bonus then

[@ptlemon1101]

Zatanna and Constantine.I ship them so fucking much!

[@ggt47]

Zantanna my girl! My favourite DC Heroine of all time. Equally to WW.

[@BonBon-od9zm]

warren byrne same

[@kuroniro1]

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.

[@jordanrose1765]

Zatanna*

[@kuroniro1]

+Jordan Rose Oh thanks! I don't know what I was thinking!

[@TheLoneLoony]

Zatanna's pretty OP if you think about it. What's stopping her from walking up to Superman and saying "Llik Flesruoy"?

[@AifDaimon]

She's my favorite DC magic-based character.. Of course I adore her

[@dudeswag9549]

if you like her. you should checkout song Lil T Rin made called Zatanna

[@ytuser_3122]

I’d love to see her get a solo movie, I’d cast Sophie Thatcher from Yellowjackets/Prospect/The Boogeyman/Maxxxine as Zatanna

[@someone_0420]

I love Zitana so so so much she is my favorite thing in the world💥💫✨🎩🎭💋✌🏽

[@SheyOfTheFae]

Since you mentioned him, can you do John Constantine next? It would make sense. I love Hellblazer!

[@nickp2271]

My favorite version of Zatanna is any version voiced by Lacey Chabert. She's my favorite actress.

[@BonBon-od9zm]

Same, she's the best Zatanna for me :)
