r/zatanna

I love Zatanna, but I find the idea that people get powers from their genetics uncomfortable. The whole concept of the “metagene” comes close to this, but since it’s pretty random whether it will surface at all and doesn’t manifest in a consistent manner throughout families I find it to be fine.

I don’t think you can fully say that Zatanna being descended from the Homo Magi (and I think she also gets magic from her father’s ancestors) doesn’t flirt with the idea of a race that is effortlessly superior. Though of course Zatanna being as powerful as she is comes from her own skill and determination.

"I do think a spinoff is a possibility -- I have an interesting idea -- but it has to be positioned correctly -- and DC is being very smart about the Absolute line, in my opinion, and being careful about how big they grow the line. So I'm optimistic, but the timing will need to be right."

To clarify, I don't necassarily hate them. It does make sense to me that they would have dated at some point. It makes even more sense that the relationship was doomed from the start. But I never really liked the moments where when they interact afterwards, there are times where it seems like she's being swept up by him again due to his charm when she definitetly knows better. I have no desire to see them reunite in a romantic context

Maybe that's just me. But I would love for Zee to have a new pairing that is far removed from John Constantine
