That's just me though, I don't know if anyone feels the same way That's the way she works. It does sound more impressive in a video than on a printed page, doesn't it? And I have to say Lacey Chabert adds a lot more gravitas to this compared to Jennifer Hale's performance in THIS LITTLE PIGGY.

One of my most favorite Zatanna stories is ZATANNA # 12 (2011) written by Matthew Sturges. She faces a villain who was immune to her magic because he reverses time with a flick of the wrist, turning the spells into ordinary words. Cue pallindromes like: NURSES RUN and OGRE FLOG A GOLFER, GO! I think seeing it in print took away from the value for me, but the way she works is interesting
