Zatanna Zatara was created by Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson, and first appeared in Hawkman #4 in 1964 from DC Comics. Both a stage magician and an actual magician, like her father Zatara, she speaks the words of her incantations backwards. Zatanna was played by Serinda Swan in the TV series Smallville. And now it's time for her to step up.

This week's Justice League #60 is solicited with the line for its Justice League Dark back-up. "This team needs a leader, but what twisted secret prevents Zatanna from stepping forward?" Of that, I have no idea, but Bleeding Cool does get the word that whatever it is, won't stop Zatanna from assuming leadership of the Justice League of America. How magic is that?

I'd have loved to have read Ram V's script for that last panel.

ZATANNA smiles quietly at SUPERMAN's words. We just see the lower half of her face, knocked back with shadow. In the background, lit, JOHN CONSTANTINE is smoking a cigarette, holding back a laugh, because he knows just how much of a ballbag Superman is.
