** Issues #4-6: Benjamin Raymond is the [[MyGrandsonMyself supposed son]] of the wealthy Vegas casino owner Sonny Raymond, and in truth an avaricious man who made a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with the demon of greed]], Mammon, slowing his aging to a near-standstill. To keep this up, Raymond sacrifices innocent souls to the eternal torment of Hell for decades, trading off employees of his casino and even [[TheBluebeard marrying women solely to offer them to Mammon]] literal seconds after the ceremony. When Zatanna investigates this, Benjamin reveals he's kept the shambling, undead bodies of his victims as his own servants, with enough corpses left behind to give Benjamin an army, using them to overpower Zatanna, brainwash her, and try and sacrifice her as well.

* CompleteMonster: Eldon Peck was formerly a disgruntled mystic and cultist who condemned thirteen [[WouldHurtAChild children]] to [[AndIMustScream eternal agony]] to gain supernatural powers, [[FromNobodyToNightmare transforming him into the sinister Brother Night]]. A SerialRapist who used his [[CompellingVoice compelling powers]] to force women to sleep with him, Night plots to take over the criminal underworlds of both the magical and mundane worlds, gathering the crime lords of San Francisco in one place before having them gruesomely murdered in a variety of creative ways. To stop Zatanna from foiling his schemes, Night targets the innocent after his attempt to condemn Zatanna to an eternal nightmare fails, trying to damn Zatanna's crew in the same manner he cursed the children and forcing Zatanna to fight the enslaved spirit of her own father. After his return to villainy following his apparent defeat, Night drives the prisoners and guards of the prison infirmary he's in to [[DrivenToMadness fanatical madness]] and [[DrivenToSuicide suicide]], magically [[FlayedAlive stripping away the flesh]] of the remaining prisoners and using their bones as a ladder to make his grand escape. Appropriately described by Zatanna as a narcissistic, power-mad maniac, Night's quest to destroy Zatanna and everyone she loved cements him as the magician's cruelest and most tenacious foe.

* InternetBackdraft: While Joseph Kahn's Justice League Dark designs were canceled alongside the rest of the project, [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRQo-isWsAIAUat.jpg his design for Zatanna]] was met with a lot of scorn given that it made Zatanna look like a punk that was very far removed from her stage magician look. While some thought it was an interesting take, most people, especially on twitter and reddit, noted the "realistic" punk look was too cliche. It was especially jarring with so many heroines forgoing their original designs in favor of a similar look in recent adaptations.

* FetishFuel: Her fishnet stockings have become more iconic of the character than any other part of her apparel, moreso even than her ability to perform magic, and is one of the few unchanging factors in her outfit, which changes over time since it is not strictly speaking a uniform, but rather her costume when she performs on stage.
