Jamal Campbell referencing Zatanna joining the League in Justice League of America #161:

Main difference is that Zatanna is in her classic fishnets outfit than her pony tail look.

Zatanna #1 by Jamal Campbell. Variant covers by (1) Campbell, (2) Sozomaika, (3) Chris Bachalo, (4) David Talaski and (5) Saowee. Main cover (6) by Campbell. Main cast character models (7) by Campbell. Internal artwork by Campbell: images 8,9 & 10. Out in February 2025.

"'Wonder, mystery, mischief, and fishnets make up the core of a quintessential Zatanna Zatara stage show, and it's high time she returned to the spotlight,' said Campbell. 'In her newest DC Comics series, Zatanna is dragged down a rabbit hole of cursed swords, hidden truths, and multiple brushes with death. She'll need all her wits and every spell she can muster in order to make it out the other side in one piece.'

In the new limited comic book series, Zatanna gets her stage crew back together and is looking forward to a new, less chaotic chapter of life. However, her plans are disrupted before they even begin when her crew is abducted by a ghostly new adversary, The Lady White. Now Zatanna is plunged into machinations of tricks, swords, and curses that threaten to tear her apart from the inside out!

'It's been a dream tackling Zatanna's world, introducing brand-new allies and adversaries as well as bringing back some old classics that haven't been seen in a while,' continued Campbell. 'I'm weaving all my appreciation of the character into these pages in order to show and prove what makes Zatanna so magical.'"

Half-Baked Fanfic Idea

So here's a concept. Amity Park, for whatever reason, goes missing.

This is in 2005, the JL hasn't been founded yet and most heroes are still rookies or unknown outside their home cities.

In 2025, the whole city returns just as mysteriously as it left. In its absence, the Justice League has been formed, all Senior JL members are well established and known throughout the galaxy... including a small, unaging hero by the name of Phantom.

Everyone assumes that she's looked like a twelve-year-old the whole time because she's a ghost, and dead people don't age. Her nature as a Halfa is her most closely guarded secret, known only to the very trusted (some Teen Titans, Shazam, and Harley & Ivy), the clinically nosy (Batman, the Question, and Lex Luthor), and the people that HAD to know for medical and magical reasons (Constantine, Zatanna, and Frostbite).

The real reason she hasn't aged is that her time is synchronized to Danny's, due to her nature as a clone. It means that she knows for a fact Danny's still alive and that time magic was somehow involved. It also means that, despite being in her 30's ( or 20's, depending on your definition), Dani doesn't look a day over twelve.

Alternatively, Danny and Amity Park return, and he is immediately tackle/hugged by a tall 32 year old woman. As far as he's concerned, it's been less than twenty minutes.

Anyways, the point is that Dani has been there since the beginning. She was there when they broke Matian Manhunter out, she was there when the Targarians invaded, when Darkside came to make a mess, when Luthor made dealings with Brainiac, and even when they faced off against the Justice Lords. Her evil self was a dick BTW.

To the world at large, Danielle IS Phantom. Not unlike how everyone remembers Carol as Captain Marvel despite her being the second to have the title, Danny Phantom is a relative unknown. A Deep Cut in superhero history.

It's a lot for everyone to get used to.

Jamal Campbell referencing Sindella's death in Justice League of America #165 in his double page spread for Zatanna (2025):

The costumes here accurate here at least with the absence of the choker on Zatanna's costume. I have a soft spot for this look and really wish someone would modernize it.

It also looks like Zatanna got to spend a bit more time with Sindella than in prior canon in which Sindella "died" 6 months after Zatanna's birth:

Mother and daughter painting together and it looks like they might be painting....themselves? A family portrait? Awwww....
