Zatanna (2033)

Series

Zatanna has spent roughly five years building her reputation as a successful stage illusionist while secretly mastering the backward-spoken magic taught to her by her father, the legendary Giovanni Zatara. However, her father mysteriously vanished years ago. For five long years, Zatanna has been tracking magical breadcrumbs across the globe, working under the radar. Her search finally brings her into the mainstream DC Universe, where she realizes she needs the help of Earth's greatest heroes. She encounters them one by one across the episodes: ​Hawkman & Hawkgirl: Zatanna assists them with a case involving a mystical artifact, hoping their alien Thanagarian technology can locate her father. ​Batman & Robin: She crosses paths with the Dynamic Duo while operating undercover as a witch to stop a villain known as the Outsider. ​The Atom & Green Lantern: She assists them in separate dimensions, pushing her own spellcasting to its limits to prove she is far more than a stage act.The heroes combine their clues and realize Giovanni Zatara isn't dead, he has been banished to the mystic dimension of Kharma. ​Zatanna, backed by the Justice League of America, breaches the dimensional barrier. There, she discovers her father was cursed by an evil sorceress named Allura. The curse is uniquely cruel: if Giovanni and Zatanna ever look upon each other's faces or touch, they will instantly die. ​Using her quick thinking and mastery of illusion, Zatanna coordinates with a good counterpart of Allura to lift the curse right at the breaking point. After five years of searching, adapting, and proving her worth alongside Earth's heavy hitters, Zatanna finally reunites with her father. This storyline solidified her place in the broader DC Universe, transitioning her from a solo traveler to a premier hero, leading her to join Justice League Dark.
