Zatanna definitely WINS for the first round! Why do people underestimate her so much? She is powerful and her magics are greater than Raven's. 
 
Second round, is tougher. There is only like 3 episodes with Zatanna in Justice League unlimited and you don't see her do much. Where as in Teen Titans Raven battles someone in almost EVERY episode. So I'll give Round two fight to Raven.

I say Raven would win both fights. Zatanna is powerful, but, shes just not on the same level as Raven.

Raven doesn't have any magics so this kinda just shows you don't know what you're talking about.

1. Zatanna wins, Raven may have magical back ground but her abilities are those of a psychic instead
2. Raven, Zatanna's cartoon stint is just below, Raven is shown capable of spells of vast power and her telekinetic abilities could give her an edge.

Challenge fail?  Try knowing how to use the internet fail since you're incapable of doing something 90% of the people on this site can do. 
 
Raven doesn't use magic in New Titans 65.  In fact, normal Raven doesn't even appear in that comic.  She's possessed by Trigon. 
 
Most of the Sentinels of Magic (like Green Lantern and Deadman) don't use magic.  Raven is not an exception.
 
Raven never says "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" except in the TV show and perhaps Titans Go, neither of which are cannon.  Azarath is the dimension her mother is from iirc and Metrion and Zinthos are just gibberish some writer for the show thought up.  
 
You lose.  You don't know what Raven's powers are so you aren't capable of judging which character is more powerful.

It depends which Zatanna you use in the first one. Before her powers got reduced a bit, she used be able to conjure anything out of thin air. That might have been retconned away though. I remember her talking to Barry Allen about in an old JLA comic where Amazo comes back and takes away their powers. Zatanna had said she had been drawing on her capital to prove herself in the JLA and as a result of doing it for months it had reduced her powers. 
 
That being said Raven is empathic, telepathic anda few others things. She does probably does have some latent talent of magickal abilities considering her lineage but has not shown it. The one thing that Raven could do that might take Zatanna out of the game is use her soul self.  And attack Z's mind. 
 
most likely though, Raven would not use that unless it was a last resort. And an overwhelming amount of battles she would be knocked out long before then.

For someone who is supposedly powerful, Raven always struck me as being curiously fragile. It seems she can't even hold herself together half the time. Zatanna is a master of magic and, as such, is being underestimated here. She's also had plenty of experience dealing with demonic beings, which is pretty much what Raven is. I think Zatanna can shield herself against Raven's psychic assaults and hit back with magical attacks that Raven can't defend against.  
 
 The animated versions I won't comment on, since I haven't watched enough of them to form an opinion.

Shield herself?  Since when has Zatanna done anything but fold when she gets hit by anything? 
 
Raven's default attack is either her soul self or an empathetic backlash, both things that'd immediately KO Zatanna.

Your question already assumes she is getting hit. Raven crumples when hit too.
 
Is it out of the question to think that Zatanna could put up magical shields, including psychic ones? Magic isn't an exact science, or even a science at all. The things a master of magic can do is practically limitless. I think she can defend herself against a demonic creature like Raven. If she couldn't, she never would have lasted this long.

Not really.  Raven usually lashes out or teleports away when she gets hit.  She doesn't have to speak to use her powers. 
 
Also, Raven's soul self can phase so even if Zatanna puts up a shield, it isn't gonna do anything.

Magical shields don't just apply to the physical realm. I think Zatanna could conjure a shield that would stop Raven's soul-self. 
 
Really, because a magic-master's power is so arbitrary and can literally cover just about anything, I think it depends entirely on the writer whether Zatanna is a wimp, or the most powerful member of the Justice League (which she has been called before). Personally, I think writers would have Zatanna win this battle about 7 out of 10 times. Her powers are just so diverse.

Yeah, you got confused, you didn't know and you decided to be rude and tell people that did know what they were talking about that they fail and should think before they speak.  In fact, you're still sitting there saying that you're better than me even though I just proved you wrong in front of everybody.
 
So basically, you're not cool.  You're just a jerk and a moron.

@Zoom: I never said you failed I said 'challenge fail' on my part dumb ass. I never thought I was better than you but now that you mention it lol! And so what? Congratulations! You only proved Raven has no magic in the comics, you haven't proved that she would win. You're taking this WAY to personally.  And way to go not replying to me thinking I wouldn't see this. Seriously, grow up. Saying think before you speak isn't an insult. I guess you're just very sensitive.  And Epitomeofcool is not saying I'm cool, because that would be uncool, it's a quote. You probably don't even know what it means, but nice try. Here's a tissue for your tears.

Epitome of cool means the very definition of cool, which you aren't because you can't even accept that you lose without cussing at people or calling them biased.

Did you even read what I JUST said?! Like I said BEFORE "Epitomeofcool is not saying I'm cool, because that would be uncool, it's a quote.

You do you think that people are they're username? Does that mean you're Zoom? Or perhaps a car commercial.
 
 you can't even accept that you lose without cussing at people or calling them biased.  -  I said Congratulations! Do you want a trophy too? And yes your still bias on this account. 
 
 Why do you assume you're smarter than me? -  I never thought I was better than you but now that you mention it lol!  I'm not the one bringing that up you are.

No, it means I like Zoom.  If my sn was "better than you" I wouldn't tell people it was a quote, it'd just be an appropriate display of arrogance because I am better than you.
 
Care to explain my bias?  Raven is more powerful than Zatana, plain and simple.
 

 
 
 
More importantly, she doesn't have to say anything to use her powers.  He soul self just leaps out and restrains Zatanna or she just makes her feel extreme pain, too much pain to speak. 
 
What's Zatanna supposed to do against that?

@Zoom: Yeah I know, I was giving you that as an example. Anyway! Your bias because you hate Zatanna and thinks she sucks. You only like Raven. 
 
Zatannna is said to be the most powerful member of the Justice league. Here's how she could beat Raven, "Ekohc".  Obvioulsy there are many other ways, but that's just one example.
 
A scan of Raven beating a few henchmen is unnecessary. That's not showing that she is more powerful.

1. Raven is more powerful, but lacks the experience that I think Zatanna has. I say Zatanna, but it's close.
2. Raven, easily.

Zatanna is not the most powerful member of the Justice League.  Superman, Wonder Woman and the Martian Manhunter could all kill her in a second and have strength to move planets.  Green Lantern has created cities out of pure willpower.  The Flash can run through things at light speed and make them explode.  Firestorm can alter the very molecular structure of anything. 
 
I think Zatanna is at best in the top 50% of the total JLA membership when it comes to power, top 80% when it comes to actual combat effectiveness (because lets be honest, Green Arrow, Batman or Hawkman could beat her pretty easily). 
 
I don't hate Zatanna so much as I'm annoyed by people saying she's the most powerful when obviously she isn't.  Heck, Green Arrow's sidekick has beaten her up. 
 
 
 
 
The scan shows that Raven can incapacitate people with a thought.  Zatanna doesn't have an empathetic shield and even if she thought to make one, Raven'd beat her to the draw.  Do you want me to provide scans of Raven knocking around Wonder Girl or soloing the Brotherhood of Evil?  And then scans of Speedy and the Top curbstomping Zatanna? 
 
Or do you just wanna admit that you're wrong?

@Zoom: I didn't say she was, she was said to be the most powerful by Green Arrow.  Those scans aren' t needed, this is between Zatanna and Raven.  Excuse me? Just because someone doesn't agree with your opinion doesn't make them wrong. I think Jetshade has already said it best.

This isn't the "everyone has a right to their opinion" forum.  Its the battles forum.  The purpose of it is to debate who would win in a battle.  If you're gonna get your panties in a wad when somebody debates you and fall back on the ultraweak defense of being entitled to an opinion, go somewhere else.

By the way Raven does have magical powers. In the teen titans cartoon incarnation she learned high level sorcery, and in the Teen Titans comic Life and Death on page 73, Raven tries to use her healing powers on someone and says her powers aren't working right. Dr. Midnight says she can thank the Spectre for that (at the time Spectre was destroying all magic in the universe). He then said that according to Zatanna, magic is being broken down for a new age. Later in the comic as well she references her loss of part of her powers due to Spectre, when she was speaking to Superboy. 
 
But Raven's powers as mentioned in the comics are usually her telportation, empathy, soul-self projection, and telepathy. She does have magic powers as well though.

Alan scott is magic...... how does he not use magic, he's made of it? Blue Devil's trident of Lucifer allows him to banish demons to hell.......... that sounds like demonic magic............ 
 
Raven was raised in Azarath..... and in other instances she has shown magical abilities..... Raven gets her powers from being the daughter of Trigon, allowing her psychic and empathetic powers...... If her powers weren't related to magic and only empathy, why would Spectre's destruction of magic affect her? He wasn't destroying the universe's empathy...................
