I prefer to imagine Darkseid is just so flabbergasted that he temporarily breaks character.

To be fair, if anyone could turn Darkseid's head, it'd be Dark Phoenix.

As somebody who shares that general look and ancestry, both Tim and Harry are basically the Generic White UK Teenager. It's always fun to watch a Potterhead discover Books of Magic and get all worked up about it for a day or so.

On the other hand, I assume the next page has Zatanna go "Um, Harley? You're a psychiatrist, not a vet."

Psychiatrists have MD training, and most monkey species are close enough, anatomically, to humans that Harley could reasonably fake it (assuming that the monkey is injured, not poisoned or infected).

Harley owns in that series. Too bad DC hates good things and only lets this fly because it's an elseworld video-game tie in and therefore doesn't really 'count.'

Then again dude was creating sentient AI in the 60s. Given how much Computer Science has progressed since then that's like learning someone made a working helicopter during the Iron Age.

Hey, I should point out that Alfred is in the background there. He's a trained combat medic and has experience patching people up, ask for his help people! Mr. Maltose posted:Hank Pym, master of etymology. And particle physics. Robotics, too. Probably a medical doctor as well. Reed Richards once admitted that Hank is indeed a master of many fields of science. So much so that it would take Reed a solid two weeks to become as good as Hank in his various disciplines.

In it, Reed encounters a locked door and Alicia asks him if he can just "use your science" on it to open it. That's such a vague question and a really weird way of phrasing it.
