I really liked Zatanna but was kinda underwhelmed with that solo series she had written by Dini. It had one recurring villain that never really went anywhere and the rest felt like one shots. Some cute stories though.
Life is too short to waste on bad movies/TV/books/music.
"A lot of people have asked me why I don't use my canary cry when I'm fighting. It's my training. Everything I've learned, everything I've worked for as a martial artist...is about what you can do with your bare hands and your heart. It's like bringing a bazooka to a boxing match." - Black Canary
I really want to see Zatanna join Batman's Justice League of America. I think she'd be a great fit for the team. I just need Zatanna in some form of a monthly, DC is a little less magical when she isn't around.
I actually really enjoyed her solo! Yeah, it's a shame Flashpoint happened so we never got resolution on the ongoing plots, but for what it was, I thought it was a lot of fun. Though honestly, a properly written and drawn Zatanna could probably carry any book, regardless of overall quality.
Current Top 20 Titles: New Super-Man and the Justice League of China/Runaways/Go Go Power Rangers/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Maxwell's Demons/Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles/Paper Girls/All-New Wolverine/Unbeatable Squirrel Girl/Quantum and Woody/Exiles/Fence/Domino/Mech Cadet Yu/X-Men Red/Ms. Marvel/Falcon/The Flash/The Wildstorm: Michael Cray/New Mutants: Dead Souls
Well, according to solitics, she's at least going to be part of the 'Tec team for the entirety of the Azrael arc, so that's nice.
Following that, I REALLY hope she doesn't end up in JLA, because I don't read JLA. I 'd personally either want another solo (She and Booster's solos were really the ones MOST screwed over by Flashpoint), OR, something much less likely than even that that's really just an idea I really like, cancel Superwoman, and have Zatanna traveling around the world for shows and stopping mystic mayhem, while also training Zachary and Traci 13.

I hope she stays as part of the Tec team for awhile! I have faith Tynion can do her justice!

It's a nice idea in theory, but two major issues would come out of that.
1. She's not a fighter. You can't just tone her down to make the arc focus character look good like has been done with everyone else. She's too powerful to be kept in a street level book regularly.
2. That would bring the 'Tec team up to 7. Fine for an arc, but with Steph and Harper still out there, supporting characters like Cass's new ballet buddy who will hopefully stick around and Col. Kane, and Tim's return inevitable, the book would be too damn packed. No one would be happy.

There were some interesting ideas in her solo title but they barely scratched the surface of that potential.
I like the issue where she used palindromes to counter a guy who could reverse her speech. I thought that was a really cool, creative moment and would love to see more stuff like that being done.
If it had gone on longer, it would have gotten better, I think.
