JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED UPDATE
Paul Dini said the episode of Cartoon Network's upcoming Justice League Unlimited animated series that he wrote is "a mystical throwdown between Circe and Zatanna."
"The episode is a lot of fun," Dini told The Continuum at the recent WonderCon in San Francisco. "It's very magical."
It also turned out to be one of his last assignments for Warner Bros. Animation. Dini announced on his web site earlier this week that he is leaving Warner and pursuing other opportunities.
Dini has a history with the Zatanna character, dating back to her appearance in Batman: The Animated Series in an episode titled "Zatanna."
"I always liked the character and liked writing her in Batman and Justice League," he said. "Occasionally, I would throw her into Gotham Girls when I was doing those. I was going to do a series of Vertigo one-shots with the character. I did one, and then due to time and some concerns with DC for the character to appear elsewhere, I had to suspend that. At some point I may go back and write more about her."
Batman will appear in the Justice League Unlimited episode.
"It does kind of get into the relationship with Batman and Zatanna, with friends merging toward something else and then going back to friends again," Dini said. "It does kind of examine their relationship."
Jennifer Hale is providing the voice of Zatanna.
In other Justice League news, the "Starcrossed" movie will be repeated on Saturday, July 31 at 7:30 p.m. It premieres this Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
