[[File:Zatanna.png|thumb|upright|left|Zatanna, as she appeared during her debut on a splash page of ''Hawkman'' #4 (November 1964). Art by Murphy Anderson.]]In her original origin, Zatanna was born to human Giovanni Zatara and ''Homo magi'' Sindella, inheriting her mother's natural affinity for magical powers.

Among those changes included a new love interest, [[Nick Necro]], whom she started dating years before she would meet her future teammate, John Constantine.

Based in Constantine's [[House of Mystery]], the team first battled a wild [[Enchantress (DC Comics)|Enchantress]] and then Felix Faust, Nick Necro, and reluctant turncoat [[Doctor Mist]] as Necro works to acquire the mythical Books of Magic, a source of obsession since his shared history with Zatanna and John Constantine.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Milligan |first=Peter |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oZ-RAQAAQBAJ |title=Justice League Dark Vol. 1: In the Dark |date=2012-10-16 |publisher=DC Comics |isbn=978-1-4012-4128-5 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":18" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Lemire |first=Jeff |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wGd-AgAAQBAJ |title=Justice League Dark Vol. 3: The Death of Magic |date=2014-02-04 |publisher=DC Comics |isbn=978-1-4012-5016-4 |language=en}}</ref>

[[File:Zatanna – Superman vol 6.jpg|right|thumb|upright=.75|Zatanna, as she appeared on the cover of ''[[Superman (comic book)|Superman]]'' Vol. 6 (2024)]]
Zatanna is depicted as having a public identity as both a stage magician and genuine sorceress that battles evil.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Zatanna {{!}} Official DC Character |url=https://www.dc.com/characters/zatanna |access-date=2024-09-08 |website=DC |language=en-us}}</ref> She has adopted several roles as a superhero, serving as a prominent mystic consultant,<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":6" /> valued member of several superhero teams, and a popular leader.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Conway |first=Gerry |title=Justice League of America #206 |publisher=[[DC Comics]] |year=1982}}</ref> The character also owns a side business providing special service in magical and multiverse matters to those whom are in need of it and promises confidentiality.<ref name=":0" />

=== Themes involving reputation and stardom ===
One reoccurring theme for Zatanna's character includes her public identity as a traveling, international celebrity status as she balances it with her popular superhero dual life, having adopted the lifestyle due to her father's influence.<ref name=":10" /> At times, her celebrity lifestyle interferes with her relationships with family members (i.e [[Zachary Zatara|Zach Zatara]]).<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Dini |first1=Paul |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PpIODgAAQBAJ |title=Zatanna by Paul Dini |last2=Beechen |first2=Adam |last3=Sturges |first3=Lilah |last4=Fridolfs |first4=Derek |date=2017-03-07 |publisher=DC Comics |isbn=978-1-4012-7659-1 |language=en}}</ref> Her trustworthiness has also been challenged in several storylines such as ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' and ''[[Absolute Power (comics)|Absolute Power]]'', wherein the respective stories challenged her relations with the superhero community or the magical community at large.<ref name=":14" /><ref name=":15" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Laspada |first=Christian |date=August 22, 2024 |title=Superman #17: Magic's in the Air |url=https://comic-watch.com/comic-book-reviews/superman-17-magics-in-the-air |access-date=September 8, 2024 |website=Comic Watch |language=en-US}}</ref>

=== Love interests ===
Her most significant love interest in both comics and media is [[John Constantine]], whose affiliation has been characterized as turbulent within in various stories. The pair first met some time shortly into Zatanna's adulthood, having once practiced [[tantric sex]].<ref name=":13" /> More recent stories emphasized their relationship, having first began from a polyamorous one also involving Nick Necro before the pair broke away from Necro due to his obsession with the Books of Magic deteriorating their shared relationship, resulting in Constantine and Zatanna becoming exclusive to one-another for a time.<ref name=":18" />
Within comics, Zatanna has had dated several other superheroes such as [[Doctor Thirteen]],<ref>{{cite comic |date=June 2005 |title=[[Seven Soldiers]]: Zatanna |story=Talking Backwards Sdrawkcab Gniklat |issue=#1 |writer=[[Grant Morrison|Morrison, Grant]] |penciller=[[Ryan Sook|Sook, Ryan]] |inker=Gray, Mick}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Jones |first1=Jolle |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tBfqDwAAQBAJ |title=Catwoman Vol. 3: Friend or Foe? |last2=Blanco |first2=Fernando |date=2020-06-16 |publisher=DC Comics |isbn=978-1-4012-9977-4 |language=en}}</ref> [[Cyborg (DC Comics)|Cyborg]],<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Semper (Jr.) |first1=John |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4b3JAQAACAAJ |title=Cyborg 3 Singularity |last2=Grevioux |first2=Kevin |date=2018 |publisher=DC Comics |isbn=978-1-4012-7455-9 |language=en}}</ref> and [[Batman]], whom first began as her childhood friend.<ref>{{cite comic |date=August 2008 |title=Detective Comics |story=The Riddle Unanswered |issue=#845 |writer=Dini, Paul |penciller=[[Dustin Nguyen (artist)|Nguyen, Dustin]] |inker=Fridolfs, Derek}}</ref> In later depictions, it was instead said the pair dated at one point in the past prior to Bruce becoming Batman.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Ayala |first1=Vita |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fuuAEAAAQBAJ |title=Batman: Urban Legends Vol. 3 |last2=Russell |first2=Mark |date=2022-09-06 |publisher=DC Comics |isbn=978-1-77951-916-0 |language=en}}</ref> Additionally, she had a flirtatious relationship with [[Flash (Barry Allen)]], having considered even dating him,<ref>{{cite comic |date=February 1981 |title=Justice League of America |story=Proteus Says: 'All Things Must Change!' |issue=#187 |writer=Conway, Gerry |penciller=[[Don Heck|Heck, Don]] |inker=McLaughlin, Frank}}</ref><ref name=":12" /> and [[Blue Devil (DC Comics)|Blue Devil]].

Her heritage gives her command over mystic and cosmic forces,<ref name=":5" /> allowing her to manipulate them in many ways and form.<ref name=":16" /> Her chief and most preferred method includes performing magic by saying phrases and/or spells backwards.

=== Resources and artifacts ===
Due to her lineage from both sides of the family, Zatanna has access to a diverse collection of arcane objects amassed throughout generations from her families. Much of these are stored in the Shadowcrest Manor, the sentient and ancestral home of the Zatara family which relocates to different locations periodically and is invisible to ordinary observation.<ref name=":8">{{Cite book |last1=Dini |first1=Paul |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4CqfIQAACAAJ |title=Countdown to Final Crisis |last2=Giffen |first2=Keith |last3=Saiz |first3=Jesús |date=2008 |publisher=DC Comics |isbn=978-1-4012-1824-9 |language=en}}</ref> The manor can only be accessed by special magic keys or voice recognition<ref>{{Cite book |last=Waid |first=Mark |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EaeSEAAAQBAJ |title=Batman Vs.

Known as the Curious Abode of Zatanna Zatara, it also serves as the central ___location for her side business.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Howard |first1=Tini |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NQG9EAAAQBAJ |title=Harley Quinn (2021-) #30 |last2=Maines |first2=Nicole |date=2023-05-23 |publisher=DC Comics |language=en}}</ref>
Some artifacts includes the Talisman of Atlantis and a magical staff owned by her father. When using both artifacts in tandem, it offers easier control and usage over magical manipulation compared to her Logomancy.<ref name=":7" /> The ''Demongraphy'' is a book offering a comprehensive, encyclopedic entries on demonic entities and is updated magically in real-time.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Mishkin |first1=Dan |title=Blue Devil #4 |last2=Cohn |first2=Gary |publisher=[[DC Comics]] |year=1984}}</ref> The Gnosis Sphere, able to answer any questions posed directly to it, is regarded as the most dangerous object protected by the Zatara family.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Tynion IV |first=James |title=Detective Comics: Deus Ex Machina |publisher=[[DC Comics]] |year=2017 |isbn=9781401274979}}</ref> She also appropriated the Sleepless Queen's sword, an enchanted blade capable of transforming those damaged by it into nightmarish forms of themselves (a process known as "Knighted").<ref>{{Cite book |last=Williamson |first=Joshua |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RG36EAAAQBAJ |title=Knight Terrors |date=2024-02-06 |publisher=DC Comics |isbn=978-1-77952-946-6 |language=en}}</ref>
Zatanna also possess a "medula jewel", an unnatural source of magic developed within the brain of royals in the Hidden Ones clan that can act as a source of magic. It appears within one person per generation, with Sindella being the previous one prior to Zatanna.<ref name=":20" />
=== Weaknesses ===
Zatanna, as a practitioner of Logomancy, utilizes speech as the primary channel for her magical abilities. This reliance on verbal communication has made her vulnerable to being incapacitated by villains who restrain her through binding and gagging, thought Zatanna now counters that with various ways of channeling her magic like using her blood, using sign language with her fingers and using her extensive escape artist skills. It is observed that her magical powers tend to increase when unused,<ref>{{Cite comic|writer=[[Matthew Sturges|Sturges, Matthew]]|artist=[[Stéphane Roux (comics)|Roux, Stéphane]]|letterer=Brosseau, Pat|editor=[[Joey Cavalieri]], Chris Conroy|story=SymmetryyrtemmyS|title=[[Zatanna (comic book)|Zatanna]]|volume=2|issue=#12|date=June 2011|publisher=[[DC Comics]]|page=|panel=|id=}}</ref> but excessive use can deplete them, leading to a strain on her physical well-being. Similar to other magic users, Zatanna can only replenish her waning powers through an extended period of rest. Additionally, there appears to be a connection between Zatanna's powers and her self-confidence. In the narrative ''Seven Soldiers'', a series of significant mistakes left her emotionally and psychologically shattered, rendering her powerless. It was only through the process of restoring her lost confidence that she was able to regain her magical abilities.
