rdf:langString Giovanni "John" Zatara is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. He debuted as a superhero, starring in his own stories in Action Comics during the Golden Age of Comics. He first appeared in the first issue. He is commonly portrayed as a stage magician who also practices actual magic and is the father of mystic superhero, Zatanna. The character makes sporadic appearances within the fictional DC Universe, serving as a supporting character to Zatanna, was once of Batman's mentors in escape artistry, and is historically considered a proficient sorcerer of his generation. Originally, the character was also the human parent of Zatanna while her mother served as the homo magi parent. After the New 52 reboot, the character's origin changed, revealing that his family also descended from homo magi. Zatara has made various appearance in media, having been voiced by Vincent Schiavelli in Batman: The Animated Series. Zatara would also be a supporting character in the Young Justice series (voiced by Nolan North), where he is portrayed as an immigrant and devout Catholic inspired by Superman to use his mystic talents to act as a superhero. Unlike his comic book iterations, the character within the series is also depicted as both an apprentice to Kent Nelson and an incarnation of Doctor Fate.
