[RSS FEED]

Sony Online Entertainment just revealed that Zatanna will be appearing in DC Universe Online. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the mystical heroine, she's a member of the Justice League of America who can cast powerful spells by speaking her magical incantations backwards. You can read all about her after the jump.

SOE has also posted renders, concept art, AIM icons, and even iPhone wallpapers that feature Zatanna and other DC Universe Online characters. Now we'll just have to wait and see if SOE creates DCUO artwork for the iPad.

Zatanna Zatara is one of the world’s most powerful magic-users, born of a long line of magicians who use magic against the dark forces of evil. She inherited her ability to cast spells from her magician father and mysterious mother, the mystical Sindella. She is a loyal and long-time member of the Justice League of America, and often works alongside the most powerful magic-users on Earth, including Doctor Fate, Madame Xanadu, and Captain Marvel.

Zatanna casts spells by speaking her magic incantations backwards. Her powers are virtually limitless, from summoning shackles to healing others to teleporting from place to place. However, Zatanna is wary of over-using her magic and limits herself to defensive and non-lethal spells.

Did you know a simple gag is enough to halt Zatanna’s magic? If she can’t speak, her magic doesn’t work. That’s if you can manage to get close enough to her.

Explore all the available Zatanna AIM icons, renders, concept art, and wallpapers for download—available now—and be mystified by her beauty!
