It just seems like she should be hanging out with the other young adults in Young Justice to me. I thought she was supposed to be the same age as Artemis and Wally and Dick.
I love Zatanna, but would much rather see her having adventures on her own or making a guest appearance very rarely. Too many writers use her as a walking deus ex machina, a problem that crops up with all the major mystical comic characters. Especially since Paul Dini is at Marvel now.
Captain Atom, for example, must have gone through the procedure that gave him powers in the 60's
Reminds me of Flashpoint, where he was way older than all the other "heroes." I like the idea of old dudes getting super-powered age reversals; see also Rulk.
Character ages for Young Justice (spoilers, I guess, if you don't watch the show)

Bumblebee - 20
Mal Duncan - Around 20 - 21
Unknown: Robin (Tim Drake), Blue Beetle, Wonder Girl

I am actually surprised by a lot of these.
Green Arrow, Aquaman and Captain Atom mostly.
Also Flash.
These are after the 5 year jump, but yeah. I would've guessed Flash being younger and Green Arrow being older
Aquaman's hella young

Are those ages verified anywhere in the series or by the creators? Because man those are about 5 years older than I thought they would be at most, timeskip included.
Another good episode, really good with the fight scenes that are setting the bar for all animation both in tv shows and movies, bat-ketchup for the win, the only thing that seemed weird was
Artemis shoots the guy with an arrow point blank and because you can't have the arrow actually shoot through the guy in a kids cartoon, it was more like the arrow punched him

Well Captain Atom would have been quite a young man when he piloted that experimental plane
But now that he is an energy being inside an indestructible dilusteel shell, I guess he doesn't age at all
Oh I know, I've been a huge Captain Atom fan since his 80's DC series (I've got some of the old Charlton comics issues, but I've never read them). He was a pilot in Vietnam right before his death sentence and flying the plane, so the age range fits. I just like that he hasn't been stuck on a sliding timeline like most characters. Note: I haven't read any New 52 Captain Atom. I bought the issues just to support the book, and really need to dig them out.
40 seems like it is starting to get into "too old for this shit" range
for Batman specifically, I mean. Superman and others could totally be 40 and no big deal but Bats puts his body through hell every time he goes out so it is weird to think he's that old to me.
Not a dealbreaker or anything, just a weird thing.
To be fair, I remember the timetable for heroes in YJ being about 10 years, and that was before the 5 year timeskip.
So 40 year old Batman has been active since he was 25.

Yeah, that makes sense. Dick was 13 in the first season and had been Robin since he was 9, so Batman had to have been active for a little bit before then

I got scared when I saw that. The argument that no human could have a Krytonian child due to it busting out of the womb and all... I read his Wiki, and am completely okay with the fact that I have never, and will never read anything related to Superman.

Superman just doesn't appeal to me. It's okay to not like things.

Yup.
Got some of the all time classic stories. He's the template. The dream.
He's a powerful alien from the stars who was brought up by a kindly Kansas farm couple to do all the good he could.
Slightest step wrong, he's the nightmare. Godlike entity who can see anyone, be anywhere, and can't be killed by mortal weapons? Doesn't take much imagination to know fear there.
But he's exactly the man who should have that power.
He's not even Jesus, God given to man. He's just our best. Fallible, human, limited, but always trying to be better and always aware he doesn't have the right to give himself the seats of the mighty. What we wish other people were. What we, in our very best moments, want to be.
Sorry. "I read something about a character on wiki so now I'm confinced the character is stupid" kinda pushes my buttons.
I was just stating that I got his back story from that. I was curious to see if Lois Lane's uterus could handle a Kryptonian child, since she was called his super-mum. The point I was making about not reading anything about Superman is that when someone mentions something about him, I'll check it out, but it usually ends up being just another thing that makes me not like him. Like all those super animals he has (had?). Who needs a super horse? I've caught issues here and there, and actually like characters that are attached to Superman (Power Girl, Supergirl, Bizzaro), but nothing has ever held me and made me want to dive into story arcs. The closest I came was when I was younger and he died, his actual death wasn't something that I was actively reading, but I sought out anything with Eradicator or that crazy cyborg Superman.
Superman is indeed the mold for superhero, but he's just not interesting as a character to me.

Eh, Superman isn't the only DC super-hero with that much power or constantly restraining said power. Green Lanterns, Flashes, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Firestorms, Jaime Reyes, Captain Atom, the Marvels, Dr. Fate etc can all do similar things. Hell, Batman can do amazing stuff like that with his a-game on.

Dick turned them down because he wanted to keep running Young Justice, and M'Gann and Conner joined him.
They're all 20ish, except Dick who is younger, and that ain't too much younger than Kyle Rayner when he first joined the League.

For me, dudes like Batman, Superman, etc. are eternally in their early thirties unless stated otherwise like in the reboot.
Having Batman be almost 40 is
weird.

Some are a little younger, like Kyle
some are older, like J'onn
a perpetually thirty-something professional
They should totally have kept Chris Kent around
Lois Lane, super-mum

Not on the Internet, it's not.
I reserve the right to call an opinion silly when it's based on Wikipedia summaries
Nobody is more of a superhero than Superman
