Justice League Dark 2: The Death Of Magic
Hot take. DCAU makes a second animated Justice League Dark. Starring Zatanna, Wonder Woman, Deadman, Swamp Thing, Madame Xanadu and Dr Fate. It opens in the house of Mystery. Zee and John are sorting for mystical crime when the house starts to disappear. Zee and John fight to get out of the house while black orchid informs them some unseen force is sucking the house from earths plane of existence. Zee manages to escape but only barely.
John being bound to the house is sucked with it out of Earth. Before he goes they share a moment and he smiles and says I know you’ll find me.
Cut to Diana, she’s fighting Circe. It’s an epic battle good vs. evil. When suddenly Circe starts screaming and strange glowing symbols appear in her skin. She cries out and strikes Wonder Woman with a spell the blasts Diana back before Circe vanished in a flash. Wonder Woman who is thoroughly confused (slightly relieved) decides to look for clues by calling Zatanna the newest Justice League Member.
Zee is like omg Bitch I was about to ring you, my magic headquarters belonging to my ex is gone. Diana’s like well clearly we can’t let this shit fly let’s get to the bottom of it and Zatanna agrees. They meet up with Zee bringing Deadman. Deadman is thriller to meet Wonder Woman but kind of antsy because he misses Black Orchid. Zee suggests they go see Madame Xanadu while Boston stats begins in case the House reappears. Unbeknownst to them Swamp Thing is observing them.
They arrive At Xanadu’s shop and are about to enter when a dark void begins to pull Zatanna through the ground. When Zatanna’s hat comes to life and tries to pull her inside. Diana attacks the tendrils of darkness but her attempts are useless Zatanna manages to magic herself out of the situation but the tendrils still come for her. Wonder Woman rushes to defend her and something strange happens. The tendrils touch Diana’s bracelets and instantly whither. Zatanna remarks that she needs some of those bracelets when Madame Xanadu steps outside and asks them to come in.
They come inside and find Swamp Thing within. He says he was sent to bring the two of them but when he arrived they were already on their way. Diana says a free trip would have been nice while Swamp Thing seems unaffected. Zee asks Xanadu what the heck is going on. She says something has escaped from the tower of fate that is trying to destroy magic. She warns that if this continues all magic users will be wiped out. She says John and orchid are fine. And explains she had a vision of Zee and Diana going to the tower. She warns again that whatever is inside is very dangerous if Dr. Fate is not able to contain it.
They leave for the tower and fly there. Diana says that although she is a demigod this is still strange to her. Zee comforts her and thanks her for her help in a fight that isn’t hers. They talk and bond some more about working with exes before they arrive.
Zatanna knocks and Fate welcomes them in. She states that they are here to help. The good dr. Is delighted that they’re there. It seems odd that he’s in a good mood but they roll with it. Zee asks what got loose and dr. Fate replies that nothing is loose, it was released on purpose. And attacks them. Wonder Woman and Zatanna easily defend themselves while he rants about magic bringing the highest form of chaos to this world. He then summons two warriors. Detective chimp and man bat. ;). Wonder Woman takes on the thugs while Zatanna goes after fate.
A mystical battle ensues between Zee and fate. It’s very flashy/dramatic and the one liners are great. Fate mocks her for losing control to solve her problems and relying on her friends and late father to take the fall for her. Zatanna almost loses control but Chanel’s her anger into strategy and begins defeating nabu. He is shocked at her control and power and finally summons the upside down man. Wonder Woman who has defeated the Chimp and the bat and manages to arrive as the upside down man does. Zatanna attacks him but he eats her magic. Dr. Fate flies off to locate the next target leaving Zee and Diana to fight upside down man. They attack with Diana having more success.
Diana is noticing that her weapons glow and wound the creature. Wonder Woman remembers that Circe’s magic had the same color and that Circe is a priestess of Hecate. She asks hera for forgiveness and then calls on Hecate for strength. This magically endows Wonder Woman and the creature fears her. Diana instructs Zee to finish off Fate. And the fight continues. Meanwhile it’s revealed Zee snuck Swamp Thing into the tower and he is off looking for a way to send the upside down man away.
The fight is so pretty y’all. Just magic for days. Finally Zatanna manages to free Kent from the helmet. Leaving him free of the lord of orders influence. He thanks her but explains Fate has rigged a weapon that will magically place magic users in the upside down mans dimension and that’s why all the magic users have been disappearing. He says the house of mystery was meant to be the beacon in the other realm so that they’d all end up in the same place to be killed. John has unknowingly played into this trap and is housing earths witch refugees.
Zee explains she doesn’t know how to create a portal complex enough to pull earth through while sending the upside down man back. Wonder Woman says she does and appears with the beaten upside down man. She gives Zee the instructions and they create the portal and in a stressful moment manage to bring everyone back and send evil man on his way. So everyone is there but it has to be decided what to do with Nabu. The world needs the tower of fate but who can be trusted to keep it?
Unsurprisingly John votes that Diana and Zee run the tower of fate. Although hesitant they both agree and Kent is released while nabu is locked away. Diana thanks and asks Circe to remove Hecates power to which Circe replies was there all along before leaving. Diana and Zee face the tower and decide to unravel mysteries together.
I’d love if they become girlfriends but dc is a coward so I’ll settle for best friends. The End.
