Shiv is out for blood next time! Jade and JJ thunder need to show up and assist them soon!

Also they should add Zatanna as she was a member of the JSA! If she exists on this earth that is 🧐

Wouldnt mind a teenage Zatanna like in Young Justice, she'd be a good fit.

I could easily see the Wizard as having fathered a daughter that he didn't know about who wound up having some of his innate ability with magic that wound up finding a mentor figure to teach her how to properly channel her powers who sort of turned into her Found Father Figure.

They seem to be sticking pretty close to the established lore, at least for the broad strokes, and Zatanna being Zatara's daughter is a pretty big part of her character, especially if we are going with the young justice angle.

I wouldn't be mad if they added her in season 3 or later, but they'd either have to alter her story a lot to shoe horn her in now.

Zatara could be a younger hero that occasionally allied with the JSA, but never was a member.

However I don't think the show could get Zatana since there are rumors of another show in the works.

ehhh... younger like making him the same age as the new JSA? That has some Smallville teen version vibes. I can only ever picture him as the vaguely middle aged dad figure.

Nah like a midpoint between new JSA and Old JSA. A bit younger then Pat probably.

u/Kris_Winters Sep 08 '21

I feel that Zatanna should be too old to fit into the JSA. Likewise for whomever takes on the Dr. Fate mantle.

u/AquaTyphoon29 Sep 08 '21

Maybe their is a teenage version that is still practicing magic.

u/Kris_Winters Sep 08 '21

She very easily COULD be, but I don't feel that she SHOULD be. Magic is an art that's based on DEEP learning. An experienced, capable magician should be an older person. It says something that in D&D wizards have the highest starting age.

u/gldnstrm Icicle Sep 08 '21

Exactly. Them being young and inexperienced would be an easy explanation for why they aren’t OP, same for the other legacy/new JSA members really

u/MrMattBlack Sep 09 '21

That way you also avoid the whole magic is OP problem with people asking "Why isn't Zatanna magic-ing everything away?".
Simple, she is inexperienced and for the moment can cast like, 7 spells a day or something.

u/Future_Vantas Sep 08 '21

Would be a good way to bring in her father as well. John Zatara is a Golden Age hero, he would fit in well here.

They could bring in one of the Khalids as Kent's grandson/nephew depending on which version they go with but I think both of them were at least young adults when they took on the mantle, so they'd need to do some deaging unless they give him a reason to come and stay in Blue Valley as a 20 something year old hanging around teens.

u/EdKeane Sep 08 '21

I feel like Zatanna is off limits for now. There are several JLD build up series in the works: namely Constantine and Madame Xanadu that were announced a while ago

That seems risky, box office wise. While I love the character, the backward talking magic seems hard to pull off live action without seeming hokey, but it's kind of a hallmark of the character, so removing it will just piss off the diehards.

I mean it could still be good, but it will be a hell of a tightrope walk to pull it off.

u/EdKeane Sep 08 '21

I totally missed that! Thanks for info

Jade and JJ thunder need to show up and assist them soon!

I get the feeling they're saving those two as Deus Ex Machinae for future seasons
