Because there was an embarrassing lack of Zatanna in my gallery. Problem solved!
Zatanna has been largely misused by DC Comics, in my opinion. A powerful sorceress with a fun gimmick (talking backwards to do her spells), she has been barely more than a secondary character if used at all since her introduction in 1964. Her only real "primetime" exposure in recent times was her ill-advised and uncharacteristic mindwiping of numerous supervillains (and a few heroes). This conflicted, doubt-ridden character is a far cry from my idea of Zatanna.
I prefer to see her as a somewhat mischievous, but well-intentioned hero, confident and mysterious to all but her closest associates/lovers. This version of the character was probably best displayed in a one-shot comic by Paul Dini published under the Vertigo label.
I also have always been tickled by the idea of one of the world's greatest "real" magicians hiding in plain sight as a stage magician. That...and the wardrobe.
