Like most comic fans, I always liked the tuxedo and fishnets look for Zatanna. As a kid, I did wonder about the practicality of the top hat however. I just imagined that it would be tough to keep in place while the magical heroine was in action.

Maybe she placed a precautionary spell on it. Like, say; "ekaM ym pot tah eht orcleV-demmirb noisrev fo s'bojddO relwob ybred."
Didn't another couple of superheroes become prisoners of Purgatory on one of your covers, sometime back?
That was "Partners In Purgatory" starring Hit Man and the Punisher back in June.
Well, now we know why they became partners. To help rescue these lovely ladies! Wait a minute, though. Isn't that Rintrah the Minotaur at the far upper left and Greg the Gangly Gargoyle at the far lower right?
I was thinking basically the same thing. A spell that prevents the hat from falling off or, for that mattered, being lost or damaged should be simple for the likes of her. And maybe she can even pull rabbits or other useful things out of there like Batman does with his utility belt or (more successfully) Presto from Dungeons and Dragons. And after all we never seem to worry about Zatara (or Mandrake for that matter) having the same problem.
Medusa would never be tempted to borrow Zatanna's hat - she'd never get it to stay on.
It's not just the hat, she's fighting in high heels & the tails are something that could get grabbed or easily caught in a door or on a branch. The dumb bow tie could be used to strangle her pretty easily. It's a dumb & sexist look to be battling demons & humans. Fishnets also easily tear. Her 1978 JLA membership look had no heels, no tearable fishnets, no hat, no tails, no bow tie & her hair back in a ponytail (which kept it out of her eyes in fast-moving battles).
It made the most sense for her type of magical & human encounters. & yes, Zatara & others are just as cringeworthy for their choice of battle garb. It seems like writers (& artists) have to have them always look magical rather than look like they can fight, run & dodge (with all that unnecessary junk on them).
Ooooooooooh, savage! But seriously, good point!🙂
The thing I liked about Zatana was that you never knew where she'd turn up next. DC also tried another Magical Maiden, the Enchantress, but she never really did catch on.
