I think the main reasons are mostly because;

A) In the comics, Zatanna was a good friend of Batman's, which probably makes hardcore fans think that it's strange for her to be a little older than Robin. I personally don't have an issue with it, since this IS a different Earth (Earth-16 I believe), and I love the Chalant pairing.

B) They think that Zatanna interferes with the Dick/Barbara (And sometimes, Dick/Kori) shipping. There are lots of people out there who think that Dick has to be with Barbara, because they were a couple in the comics.I also don't mind this, partially because I think it's a nice change from the usual, and, as I mentioned before, I'm a big Chalant shipper, but I like Dick and Babs in the comics too.

C) This last reason, as people have mentioned before, is because Zatanna doesn't have a defined personality yet. It's true that she does have specific characteristics, like her easy humor and willingness to comfort someone, along with the fact that she's insecure about her powers, but the producers could have introduced her earlier on, or made more of an effort to include her in episodes to expand on that. The clearest things we know about her is that she's rebellious, and that she feels upset and perhaps guilty about her dad becoming Dr. Fate.

I personally really like Zatanna, in fact she's my favorite girl on the Team along with Artemis, but all the people who don't like her have pretty valid points. I guess it's just a question of preference. But I'm really hoping that they go further into Zatanna's personality in season two, and that Chalant wasn't just a season 1 thing, since I like her as an individual and paired up with Dick.
