Called it - Zatanna confirmed as next DLC character for Injustice: Gods Among Us [Trailer]

As promised, Ed Boon revealed the new DLC character set for Injustice: Gods Among Us, and it's none other than the Justice League's resident magician, Zatanna Zatara.

If you followed Boon on Twitter, this should've been fairly obvious to most, given all his various clues, which Boon also explained:

* INJUSTICE DLC character #6 clue: "I heat up, I can't cool down!" References the lyrics to a Steve Miller Band song called ABRACADABRA
* INJUSTICE DLC character #6 clue: Olivia Newton John refers to one of her songs titled: MAGIC
* INJUSTICE DLC character #6 clue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HMAob229tk ... The Puppet in FUNHOUSE pinball was based on the puppet from the 1978 movie MAGIC.
* Clue #2 for Next INJUSTICE DLC character: Upside-down. Refers to "The Cars" lyrics from MAGIC: "Summer, it turns me UPSIDE DOWN"
* Clue #1 for Next INJUSTICE DLC character: The Cars... Refers to their song MAGIC

To the uninformed, Zatanna is one of the greatest magic-users in the DCU, being descended from a long line of historical well-knowns, who are also wielders of mystic arts in the DC world: Leonardo DaVinci, Nostradamus, Nicholas Flamel, and others. She also pulls off the top hat look pretty well.

Whereas other members of the League do their best to hide their heroics under the guise of average citizens, like how Supes disguises himself as mild mannered reporter Clark Kent, Zatanna lives life a little more out loud than the rest of her hero buddies, using her natural affinity for magic as an illusionist to pay the bills.

She's a lot more physical in combat than you might expect. She's just as skilled at delivering quick kick combos as she is in magic.

After Martian Manhunter, Zatanna will be the sixth DLC character to hit Injustice, joining Zod, Scorpion, Lobo, and Batgirl.

Zatanna will be available this Tuesday, August 13th. Players can download her on Xbox Live for 400 MSP, or for $4.99 on the PlayStation 3. There's no mention yet if she'll be coming to the Wii U. Check out the trailer below to see Zatanna in action against Grundy.
