I more or less quoted this to help my younger brother with the pain of losing our father. Now I can’t listen to this quote without feeling a stake going through my heart
I think he does realize it. That's what makes Alfred special. He was always the only person capable of getting through to Bruce even in his most bullheaded moments. By the same token, if something ever happens to Alfred, you best hope whatever gang you're a part of had no role in it.
It was a joke in reference to when Christopher Columbus landed in the New World (Americas) and claimed the land for Spain since Spain was his benefactor for his voyages. Obviously the joke was he had a long and dangerous journey to find Bruce and somehow survived his voyage. Again, just a historical joke.
Let's be real. Alfred is one of the most awesome DC Comics characters ever created. A regular guy who often does really impossible things that normal people wouldn't even be able to fathom doing. Plus, he's about the only person in the world that can get through to Batman about ANYTHING. This is overlooked all the time, but usually once Bats has made up his mind, the discussion is over. Not so with Alfred.
@@sebastianschoefl Former British Special Forces and MI-6. Fear the old in a profession where men die young. Also in the Injustice Comic, he broke Superman’s nose… and proceeded to break the floor of the batcave with the back of Superman’s head.
“Land you bucket of bolts!” “Your funeral.” “Oh dear…. Ahhhhh! After the plane lands… “Watch your step.” “I-I… I claim this land… for Spain.” That gets me every time.
"What's this? Knockout gas?" "Chicken Soup. The only way to fight a cold." --~~~-- Adventure happens, final fight with Mister Freeze. Batman smashes Freeze's glass helmet open with the thermos and pours hot chicken soup in his face. Rescued bystander: "What was that?" Batman, bad-assedly: "The only way to fight a cold."
One of the most touching Dad moments was when he said "I've already buried one generation of the Wayne Family, I'm blowed if I'm burying another!" And yet, one of the greatest Batmen has been laid to rest...
I love how Conroy shifted the "colour" of his voice between Batman & Bruce Wayne. Brilliant. It was unsettling listening to his Wayne voice come out while he was dressed as the Bat.
@joaniekeyser4036 It's definitely possible. Kevin has also talked about how he related personally to the duality of the character as a gay man in the 1980s and 90s. He would have done at least some code-switching between people who knew that side of him and people he couldn't trust with his safety. I'm part of that community myself (albeit a queer woman), and I've noticed that almost everyone does some kind of vocal shift when they go from an LGBTQ-friendly environment to a neutral or hostile one. We change our pitch, our cadence, even the way we say certain vowels. A lot of us describe it as being like a secret identity. I've seen someone's entire voice and body language change because they took a call from their 'phobic family while they were out with their queer friends. I wouldn't be surprised if the idea for the switch came from multiple sources.
Honestly wish the voice code-switching persisted into the Tim Drake era and beyond, it was legit refreshing to hear him sound relatively cheerful even if it’s just a vocal mask.
"That's rubbish, I know your father would be proud of you because I'm so proud of you." Such an amazing line Edit: Now it hits even harder knowing that Kevin Conroy has passed. Kevin, thank you for giving us the most iconic Batman of all time. I will always cherish the memories of sitting in front of my aunt's giant TV on Saturday mornings watching BTAS because of your Batman. R.I.P
Second best line: Alfred: This must be the place. Bring us down. Batwing: Negative. Alfred: But Master Bruce is down here, we have to land. Batwing: Impossible, area too confined. Alfred: Land, you bucket of bolts! Batwing: Your funeral.
@@blairbrown4812 Well, to be fair, I never said it was the best lol. I personally think it's the best in entire series though due to the VA's delivery of the line and the emotional weight behind it.
@Stefano Pavone If you wanna see a more "human" Alfred that DOESN'T ruin the character (I HATE Gotham Alfred, he's overly violent and he looks and sounds all wrong), check out The Batman 2004.
RIP Kevin Conroy you will be forever missed. You were not just the voice of Batman, living or dead you ARE Batman. When people read the comics or daydream about Batman they hear YOUR voice in their head. You have had an impact on countless children’s lives and you truly brought the character to life like nobody else could. It just won’t be the same without you voicing the caped crusader.
Kevin Conroy was THE Batman for alot of people. The only actor to ever portray Batman in a way where he could be intimidating WITHOUT having to change the way he sounds.
@@SBaby if you pay attention to how he speaks during the show, not only does he change the way he speaks, he doesn’t change it when he’s talking to Alfred. His Bruce voice is part of the mask. Batman is his real self.
@@LugborG The point is he doesn't have to talk like he swallowed a popsicle stick as a child to be intimidating. He just sounds slightly deeper than he does as Bruce. But he still sounds professional and is still able to be intimidating with that voice.
Alfred was legit with his old dad energy. I truly believed he's one of cornerstones of what made Batman balance with Bruce Wayne. Awesome video! Thanks for posting. Also R.I.P Kevin Conroy
The part where the bat computer said "your funeral" to Alfred after being so logistic, had me in stitches.😂 It's hard to find good comedy like that these days.
@@koshavinka2995 dude this line came way before courage the cowardly dog computer. But yeah, he definitely would say that… Actually, I think he might have, but in a more snarky and clever way.
Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and Kevin Conroy are the best sounding Alfred and Batman. May they both R.I.P. Thanks for the memories. I loved watching this show with my twin brother after school and/or extracurricular activities. Our older brother taught us how to master the VCR timer and VHS recording (this was pre “on demand” digital format).
You forgot that one part in which Alfred's not-quite-girlfriend took him for a drive, and he made a D: face after she skipped a speed bump. Rest in peace, Kevin Conroy. Your talent inspired the childhoods of billions.
This is why Alfred is such a good character. He can bring the sarcasm all day long, but when it comes down to it, he is there and he is ready to take care of Bruce and the rest of the Batfamily when they need it. 1:39 wow i can't believe Alfred trained for the Death Star run.
To me nothing shows the level of love and trust Batman had for Alfred more than the fact that Alfred was allowed to keep and use guns to defend the mansion. Nobody else in the Bat family had that privilege.
Thank you for sharing, I love seeing these moments of Alfred helping Bruce. What I love about his character is that he is selfless and willing to help Bruce after what happened to his parents. There were moments I thought Batman wasn't appreciative of Alfred, but I'm joyous where he expresses his thanks to his father figure when he gets the chance.
1 of the things I love reading when I'm reading a Batman fanfic, is from a kid's point of view when they're joining the family and describing the family members to them and including Alfred as the senior most member. Like 1 was from the point of view of a kid that turned out to be bio kid of Bruce's who practically snapped him up as soon as he found out, he called Alfred his sassy grandfather.
Gotta give props to Alfred for being so loyal to the Wayne family that he would risk his own life & possibly crashing the Bat Jet in search of his missing Master. He clearly did NOT enjoy the ride.
I loved the lighter tone Conroy could carry Batman with in TAS at moments without compromising the emotional weight behind the character. No other piece of Batman media has managed the balance so gracefully, and with our unfortunate loss of Mr. Conroy, we may never see Batman done this well ever again. RIP Kevin Conroy.
This is why Alfred is the absolute GOAT! The dude went from being DC's version of James Bond to becoming the best butler-dad from raising an entire Bat-family and an all around badass! Plus, despite not donning an intimidating suit, criminals would have more reason to be fearful of him than of Batman. Bruce may have a no-kill policy, but that doesn't mean Alfred might share that sentiment (though he would probably have changed his ways a smidge for Bruce's sake, unless he was fighting out of survival/self-defense)... 0_0
XD can we admire that even as funny as it is seeing Alfred piloting the the Batwing, it's also the most badass thing he did in order to find Bruce? Man wouldn't leave his surrogate son to vanish into the wind, he did a lot in order to find him.

@@HunterKiller762 I'm so sorry for your loss. It's great you're comforting your little bro - just don't forget to find time to comfort yourself ❤
Bruce doesn't realize it. But Alfred is still raising him well into his adulthood.
I think he does realize it. That's what makes Alfred special. He was always the only person capable of getting through to Bruce even in his most bullheaded moments.
By the same token, if something ever happens to Alfred, you best hope whatever gang you're a part of had no role in it.
All the good parents do
@@PatrickPease yeah. for real.
In some ways, a part of the child Bruce Wayne never left Crime Alley that fateful night, and both Bruce and Alfred are aware of that fact.
He was forced to grow up too fast
“I claim this land for Spain.”
That killed me.🤣
Me too
I thought he was British
@@jamiemiller1482 He is.

what no "I drew you a bath" its a classic dad joke
Good thing too since that joke was wasted on the worst Joker episode of the animated series.
A dad joke implies the joke was bad. Alfred's joke was actually funny.
@@therandombats2579 To be fair, a bad Joker episode from BTAS is still god tier.

@@nathanmilsom9952 Which is even funnier given that Alfred's British
Same!
Only a Bat computer would be a deadpan snarker.
I just love how Bruce had the plane programmed with AI just so it could sass him
You’ve gotta give Alfred a lot of credit for flying the Bat Plane to search for Bruce, despite it nearly giving him a heart attack in the end.
And Bruce knows it too when he said "Son of a gun..".
A lot has changed since Piston Engines were replaced with Jet Fighters.
"Your funeral"
Let's be real. Alfred is one of the most awesome DC Comics characters ever created. A regular guy who often does really impossible things that normal people wouldn't even be able to fathom doing.

@@dakotasan8719
Bruce: What did you guys fight about? *In a British accent* Who got the last scone?
Alfred: On occasion we did, yes.
that's because Alfred raised him like his own son. only reason Bruce dosent call him dad is probably because Alfred felt it would be improper.
Batman: I've made up my mind!
Alfred: ahem!
Batman: uh...oh, right, sorry...ahem, I HAVE made up my mind.
Can we all admit that Alfred was a badass character and still retain his gentlemanliness?
Yes. Yes, we can. :)

"Chicken soup, the only way to fight a cold."
And that soup was used to defeat Mr. Freeze.
I think I get that reference
Doobus Goobus reference?
Alfred is like a father to Bruce rather than a servant.
Definitely
💯
In my opinion, both Alfred and Jonathan Kent were the voice of reason for their sons (yeah yeah. I know Alfred isn't Bruce's dad)
I mean Alfred literally raised him after the wayne´s were murdered.
@@ayar2 And in most continuities, he's been there for Bruce since he was in diapers.
The fact the computer on the batplane has a voiceline that say's 'Your Funeral' is just the best thing ever.

I think that was the same VA who did Brain From Pinky and the Brain
“Land you bucket of bolts!”
“Your funeral.”
“Oh dear…. Ahhhhh!
After the plane lands…
“Watch your step.”
“I-I… I claim this land… for Spain.”

There has never been a man more loyal. So much more than a butler.
