Supergirl tells Zatanna that this could be a trap and Zatanna doubts that greatly. However, what Supergirl doesn’t know is that this is indeed a trap…and odds are her captor could be standing right in front of her!

*sigh* Ya’ know, after watching this superheroine porn parody (both parts of it), trying to list what was good about it will be almost difficult because it is chock full of cons that really dampen the quality of the production.
-For starters, maybe it’s just me I don’t know, but I don’t think Anastasia did her homework on the character Zatanna well enough. I mean, she got the costume right, but that’s about it. For some reason she’s turned Zatanna into a rogue character with no real explanation as to why Zatanna has turned bad (which is a shame because I like Zatanna, next to Wonder Woman and a few other female heroines).
Also, I don’t think Anastasia knows that Zatanna is suppose to say her ‘magic chants’ backwards. Plus, Anastasia spends a great deal of the first couple of minutes just moving around the set while speaking (maybe it keeps her in character while she says her lines) but that just seemed a little erratic at times for me.
Anastasia tried to give a good performance but just like her Catwoman portrayal when she faced off against Batwoman (Kendra James) it come off as hammy. Sure she looked like she was enjoying herself but she wasn’t staying in character well enough.
-The whole thing with the magic hat routine, while fun and added spice to the story just seemed a little out of place. Supergirl doesn’t once question why Zatanna is playing games when they should be investigating the facility and finding out who made that phony distress signal.
-This is my first time seeing Allie Rae in action after hearing so many good things about her. In this story though, her Supergirl persona is relegated to being a damsel in distress rather than a superheroine in action. The way the story is written, Allie’s character isn’t even given a fighting chance, much less a moment to shine and I felt bad for her character throughout this production because she gets put through a lot of abuse at Zatanna’s hands. Not to mention the fact that Supergirl blindly fell into Zatanna’s trap so easily.
Allie tries to toughen up a little bit by letting Zatanna know that she’ll ‘get hers’ eventually, but even that threat alone doesn’t spook Zatanna at all.
-The part where Anastasia puts Allie under a trance was poorly done (specifically with that ‘Twilight Zone’ music playing in the background). That part didn’t make me say ‘oh no’, instead is had me laughing and saying ‘WTF?’
-Supergirl had ropes on her hands but with her super-strength, shouldn’t she have been able to break free the moment she pulled her hands out of the hat?
-Some of the fetishes they chose for this just didn’t seem to get my juices amped up: a kryptonite dildo (oh, good grief), flogging and so forth. The spanking part was somewhat good, but that part alone isn’t enough to save the story.
-Then in Part 2 there’s mention of Powergirl. I thought that would be the saving grace for the movie: boy, how wrong I was. Powergirl isn’t shown until the last two or three minutes of the movie and during that part, Supergirl tries to brawl with her and Powergirl is forced to defend herself!
(But hey, being subjected to torture at a former comrade’s hands would be enough to turn any superheroine against another when it’s hard to know who to trust).

-The ending to this story, while good, leaves too many unanswered questions. Like one, why did Zatanna turn rogue and where did she disappear off to? Will Powergirl and Supergirl make an attempt to go after her or will they report what happened to the League so they can apprehend Zatanna and find out what’s going on?
*sigh* So many unsolved mysteries and no real answers behind them.
Final Outcome
After seeing Anastasia’s portrayal as Scarlet Witch, I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt by watching Supergirl vs Zatanna but I must say, this production didn’t meet the standards that I was hoping for. I haven’t given up on Anastasia yet as she has done some pretty interesting work but here…this one left me in the dark.
Final Score for ‘Supergirl vs Zatanna’: 2 ½ out of 10.
Odds of patient recovering from this ‘crash and burn’: very slim.
