    Probably a coin toss since either can one shot the other. I might give Raven a slight nod as she doesn't need to speak to work her powers.

    Raven curb stomps Zatanna in most fights. And I say this with Zatanna as my favorite DC character.

    But unless Zatanna can prepare in advance (and more likely would need to complete ambush), Raven wins every time. her magic is at the speed of thought (about 4 billionths of a second) vs. Zatanna having to not only speak, but speak backwards to do anything useful.
    I'm not totally useless. I can always be used as a bad example...

    While I agree with your assessment where did you get that arbitrary number from for the speed of thought? Speed of thought is basically how fast a neuron from one part of the brain reaches another part to create an action. And it's nowhere near 4 billionths of a second.

    Also, speed of thought is all well and good, but it's reaction time which is normally the limiting factor.

    Speed of thought is BS, for normals fast nerve conduction is 100 meters/sec. There are some faster electrical junctions but that physiology isn't part of normal motor systems.

    Anyway, I'm going with Titan Titans Go! Raven to squish Zatana with a giant black monster construct.

    Technically depending on the versions Zatanna doesn't always need to speak to do her spells. She can do her spells without talking backwards but it helps her focus more. It makes you wonder what is the biggest feat we ever seen Zatanna do? I know we have seen Raven do many things teleporting healing and rebirth.
