 Animation Insider - Character Discussion: Zatanna
Zatanna was somewhat stale in the episode of her own name way back during Batman's own animated series.
At that time she had no real magic, no backwards talking, she was simply a smoke and mirrors magician in a vega showgirl outfit (no complaints there, of course) who's father had been the one who trained Batman in escape artists and who had a crush on him.
She used stage magic for the most the episode "zatanna" but I think she used 'real' magic to disappear from Batman at the end of the episode.
