WTH kind of costume is that?
This is why I don't do superhero comics, I think: because who in their right mind thinks THAT is an appropriate outfit for ANYTHING?
... except maybe pole-dancing, of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, Zatanna was already dressed like a sexy tart. She just wasn't dressed trashily.
And I don't think you could even pole dance in that. Too much movement required. It would come right off.
One of the reboot interviews interviewed a Zatanna cosplayer and asked her what she thought about the new costume. Her reply was along the lines of "Zatanna's in that picture?"

Scott Snyder talks about Batman's reboot:
Everything you know and love about him — his rich history, that which makes him Bruce Wayne — stands. I have no interest in getting rid of any of the stories that you adore as fans. Everything that you know happened. Dick, Damien, Tim, and Jason have all been Robin.
STEPH!! For the love of god, Steph!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, Zatanna is a magician. She made her clothes disappear!
STEPH!! For the love of god, Steph!
I mean, it's right there in Wikipedia. Check your sources, Snyder!

That page with Zatanna is part of the Flashpoint stuff, where she's a biker chick or something. That's not her post-reboot look.
(Not saying it isn't a ridiculous outfit. But my understanding is that everything in Flashpoint is pretty ridiculous, so.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
STEPH!! For the love of god, Steph!
What?
...oh, you mean the superhero. (I would like to point out that I did NOT hook up with my Tim so we could be Spoiler/Robin/Batgirl and Robin/Red Robin.)
(As far as anyone knows.)
Here's her reboot look.
Meh. I'm fine with pants on the womenfolk, but that top looks like a cheap lingerie corset. And Zatanna is no Zatanna without a top hat.
