Justice League Dark #16 Discussion/Spoilers

[The Animal Man]

is it such a good idea to kick zatanna off the team and yet not even have a suitable replacement for her? freaking zatanna got screwed over in both JLD And Young Justice(Cartoon)

[lantian1]

True. She is their most powerful member

[The Animal Man]

and i don't exactly see Black Orchid attracting as many readers as zatanna she just doesn't have the fanbase

Zatanna's fan base isn't exactly what you would call huge, if going by the (barely remembered) figures of her last solo-series (also, take a look at this board, it's hardly set alight by the number of people complaining about how she is doing atm), so perhaps DC is counting on most of the people who bought this book in the beginning purely for Zatanna have been wooed by the rest of the cast and continue buying.

Eh It's just what good does deadman do for the team? He's pointless all he does is whine and act like a dick

[Outside_85]

But he doesn't unbalance the team or is in need of plot manuvers to avoid making everyone else seem irrelevant. Added he is a great spy for the team and the possessing of other people is handy while not overpowering. Yes he whines and is a jerk, but what do you expect from a guy who first gets murdered and then run over a second time after dying, not to mention he cant feel anything when he is not wearing someone.

If we want to talk about irrelevance; Madam Xanadu. Brought the team together to battle a catastrophe she created, only gives extremely vague readings of her cards (pretty sure both Constantine and Zatanna can do that already) and is now currently dying.
