The most iconic members of the Justice League continue to assemble as Zatanna joins the playable roster as the sixth downloadable content addition! Her magic arsenal is on full display in the announcement trailer [above].
Coming August 13; Zatanna is the second individually released character since the Season Pass, following fellow fan-favourite inclusion Martian Manhunter. Like all the previous download characters, she will be individually sold for $4.99.
According to Creative Director Ed Boon -- who held a poll on twitter for a small selection of characters -- the magician was second in popularity only to the shockingly omitted Martian.
Static proved next popular -- a character originally part of the African-American focused Milestone Comics line, before being folded into the DC Universe in 2008 as part of an official merger. DC Comics had previously served as publisher and distributor for the group, founded in 1993 by the late Dwayne McDuffie and Denys Cowan. The Static character is best remembered from his starring role in the animated series Satic Shock.
Zatanna has had her own on-going presence in animated series, having been one of the few heroes to find her way into the now classic Batman: The Animated Series, before returning in Justice League Unlimited. A youthful version recently featured in Young Justice, supplanted by her paternal predecessor, Zatara. Zatara -- a somewhat unremarkable character in the mould of Lee Falk's classic Mandrake the Magician -- holds the distinction of being the other character to debut in Action Comics #1 [opposite Superman]. Moral of the story: read a comic, punk.
Zatanna, of course, has a lengthy comic book history of her own, not at all overshadowed in her 1964 debut in Hawkman #4. An issue that not only introduces Zatanna, but once again reinforces the importance of Hawkman to all you silly young pups. Zatanna's been a charter member of the Justice League since the seventies and has done all kinds of things, including erase peoples memories, hang out with Batman, and make magic and top hats cool.
The notion of magic as a "weakness" is pretty darn silly, but we're sure Zatanna will do a great job of battling Superman and his Injustice Regime, regardless! Ezilamron Namrepus!
