Mary Sue is a term that tvtropes uses to describe female characters who are nearly flawless in everyway. A Mary Sue is unrealistically pure-hearted, loved by everyone, pretty, has incredible powers, very talented, lacks real flaws and more or less gets whatever she wants (without selfishness, of course) because the show shes in just seems to adore her. I don't exactly see how this applies to Zatanna seeing that she not so much perfect as she is...bland. Shes nice and has a little sense of humor, and it is very clear that her magic does not make her god. I generally like her character but I admit there could be more to her.

For the whole Chalant thing, I don't hate it but it is a bit unrealistic. Its kind of like "Hey Dick, come meet this girl who is pretty, nice, single, shares your exact sense of humor and mannerisms, and just happens to be almost exactly the same age as you!"
