Alfred sleeping with the queen of England feels like some anecdote he would randomly bring up, and he'd say it in such a way that no one can tell if he's joking or not.
Alfred has amazing game, the only reason Bruce is even dating half the women he's been with is because Alfred taught him how to be a gentleman. Also I would laugh so hard if Alfred ever went to Themyscira and Hippolyta is just "oh no, it's my ex." And everyone just STOPS dead in their tracks like "I'm sorry, explain yourselves. NOW!"
@@silence_dais sad thing is I’m now terrified that that actually will happen at some point in either the comics or an one off animated movie and I really want to see that scene.
"Alfred, I can't help but notice a sudden increase in your bank account, directly from the royal family after Elizabeth's passing. Care to explain?" "...I was young, master Bruce. Young, stupid and unaware of just _how_ grateful someone can be after you save their life."
I always liked how in various Batman media the different writing teams have acknowledged how much the Bat family cares about Alfred which often sets up emotional dramatic moments. Like in Arkham Origins and The Batman, Bruce races home in the speed of light when Alfred is in danger, in the Injustice 2 comics Mr Zsasz murders Alfred which causes Damien to murder him back and to revive Alfred in the Lazarus Pit, and in Arkham Knight when Jason reveals himself to Barbara one of the first things he says is ask how Alfred is doing
I really want to read an elseworlds comic/see an episode where (in a more happy world than normal) Bruce's parents are killed by drunk driver's instead. Alfred becomes batman to make young master Bruce stop crying and fights mundane crime like drunk drivers/bullies/mean teachers/The scary part of town with all the old spooky buildings/etc.
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 suddenly that one off line in Lego Batman makes sense. Note Alfred said in that movie "I miss the 60s" as he dressed up Batman to join the fight.
I loved the scene in Justice League where he’s sweeping the glass beside all the fallen Hawk Men and he says “I always tell Bruce not to leave trash lying about.” SO COLD
@@yosifalhasil6044 Forget the exact name, wanna say Starfall? Season finale of JL before they went to JLU. It was when Thanagar invaded to blue up the earth to win a war.
He raised him after his parents deaths. He’s practically in my mind not just a butler but also a father figure. Even if sometimes Bruce sucks really damn hard at showing it.
I don't feel this is complete without this one from the 1966 Batman TV series: "Alfred, be careful! The Joker's an arch-criminal!" "I know Madam, but a very poor fencer."
In the show Gotham, Harvey Bullock accidentally told to Alfred that Katherine Monroe, member of the Court of Owls is in the GCPD. Alfred immediately went down and Harvey Bullock tried to stop him but he failed. He stabbed Katherine's hand on to the table saying that he is not a cop but a butler and to tell him where Bruce Wayne is. That entire scene made Alfred look more of a badass than he already was.
Gotham's Alfred was such a fun version of the character. I think my favorite moment with him has to be when, after hearing Bruce got into a fight at school with the kid who would go on to become Hush, Alfred immediately teaches Bruce how a throw a proper punch, then drives him to Hush's house so that Bruce can beat him up.
Alfred punching superman like that looks like it hurts, but in my opinion, nothing hurts more than hearing Alfred say he's disappointed in you. That's a deep wound that will never heal.
Alfred’s outright support and care for bruce is definitely his most badass act. Especially considering he really doesn’t need to do any of this for bruce in a way when you think of it. but thats why he’s probably one of my favourite characters in DC, he genuinely cares and genuinely supports bruce.
I really love how most of the bat family are hard on no killing no guns and holding trye to their code Meanwhile Alfred literally says he subscribes to no such niceties and will happily send you to meet god with his trusty 12 gauge. And nobody in the bat family ever confronts him about it cause Alfred can he goddamn terrifying.
In some writer's interpretation, Batman's policy to "not kill" is because he knew he walk in slippery slope, he afraid if he take a life once, he will fallen. Alfred in other hand, already pass that sentiment (ex-SAS) But Alfred still respect Bat's commitment, and Batman wont forbid Alfred from using firearms. There are mutual understanding between them
I read a story where after Jason, Dick, Damian, and Tim get kidnapped by The Joker, Bruce actually decides the Joker has to die…..only for Alfred to just do the deed himself lmao. I imagine he’s been wanting to do that ever since Joker killed Jason.
But didn’t Iroh’s son get killed, I’m pretty it also implied that Ozai put a hit on him. Wasn’t his “failure to protect his son” his motivation for rebelling against Ozai and deciding to Protect Zuko from sharing his son’s fate or following the path as Ozai and their father Sozen.
Here's another. In the animated film, Batman vs Dracula, Alfred shot the King of Vampires with a crossbow. And after Dracula punched Alfred so hard it sent him flying into the walls of the Batcave, he got up with only a sore shoulder and proceeded to sweep Dracula's sun-charred skull into a dustbin.
Can you imagine just how much of a badass you have to be to know you could send Batman himself to bed without supper. And that Batman would actually listen to you.
I’d love to see bat family hanging casually in mansion with Alfred standing, ready to serve, and having good time playing “never have I ever” with glasses of wine. Than someone, in annoyance of running out of good questions, brings up “did a queen of England”, and Alfred casually comes up to table, pours himself some wine and drinks it, and everyone’s staring at him in silence as he’s casually walks back to his standing spot.
An honorable mention is in the recently released chapter of DCeased 3 where the sight of his last remaining family, Damien, getting turned into a zombie leads to Alfred making a pact with the spirit of vengeance himself, The Spectre, becoming the new right hand of DC's God all in order to save his grandson.
He is the only one who Batman allows to own and keep firearms in the mansion. While much of this comes from his background, part of the reason for his proclivity for guns is pure practicality. Although Alfred is surprisingly fit, he's not as young as he used to be, nor does he have a special suit or utility belt. Alfred is the only person in the bat family that Bruce doesn’t frown upon having a gun. Added to that adding to Alfred being a badass. He used to be in the SAS also. Dude is awesome
He's also made it clear to Bruce that he has several more guns hidden in other places for emergencies that Bruce wouldn't be able to find. Atleast from what I've seen in other comment sections on other videos related to this
@@thyrussendria8198 I accept that now as part of the plan Alfred has, along with still having a few in spots even Bruce wouldn’t think of. After all, Alfred has served since Thomas Wayne, he undoubtedly knows the manner better then most
Alfred beating up Superman in injustice is very cool, one of the coolest things he’s ever done, but what’s way cooler, is what happens right after. He’s just beaten the piss out of Superman, leaving him a broken and bloody mess on the floor, he picks up Batman and starts walking to the teleporter with Bruce in his arms. Bruce objects, saying they can’t leave the cave, Alfred looks over his shoulder at the wheezing and gasping Superman, and tells Bruce that there is nothing here worth saving. So brutal.
I think it’s more a point that Alfred isn’t a superhero, so while he supports Bruce and whomever he brings in, he isn’t beholden to the same standards. Usually it’s merely self defence for him. Which is good, because as much as Batman has been flaunderised, there’s at least one person in his life who has seniority over Bruce’s antics. That and Batman has argued with him about it before, but Alfred is usually the man who can get through to him and can tell him off. Edit 20/07: though there is certain portrayals that Alfred hides the guns throughout the mansion, rather the open carrying. Personally, It makes no sense for Bruce to hold Alfred in the same regard, given he isn’t a hero, never volunteered for Bruce’s war. He just looks after his well-being and occasionally brings him home,
I wanna shout out a moment in 60's Batman where Alfred sword duels the Joker then incapacitates him by keeping him stranded on the Batcave's poles when he tries to escape.
And not only that but criticizes the Jokers poor swordsmanship and manners, and the pole exit leads to Alfred trolling him with the Batman's approval. Alfred has always been the more dangerous of the two, he just lets Bruce gets some experience under his belt because he wont be there to protect him forever.
Alfred is the real hero of the Bat Family. Bruce might have brought everyone together, but Alfred is the backbone of the entire Batman enterprise. Without him, most versions of Batman would fall apart in seconds.
In the TV show beware the Batman Alfred has been in couple of fights one of them is when he was looking for information about Slade Wilson and took down 3 soldiers and he fought Slade even though he lost he's still looked badass for fighting Deathstroke.
It's always amazing the backstories Alfred gets, the majority being Ex British Armed Forces/Intelligence either being hired as or joining into the family tradition of Butler to the Waynes
My Sad has often talked about a high school English teacher he had back in Rural Iowa back in the fifties. He appeared to be a smallish British Gentleman that couldn’t hurt a flea if he tried. Well, one of the school’s football playing students didn’t like getting reprimanded by him and decided to jump the teacher…………well, after a few quick moves the jock was unconscious and being drug into the hall by this teacher. After that little flare up was over, he closed and locked the door then walked back to his desk brushing his hands together like he was dusting them off. Turns out that if Alfred Pennyworth was a real live man, Alfred and this teacher probably would have done some work together in wartime Britain.
We've got to appreciate the fact that while batman, superman, wonder woman, mister terrific and many more died, in the DCeased Alfred survived the zombie apocalypse
He killed a goddamn Talon in this show... Sure, he had a little help from teenage Bruce, teenage Selina Kyle, and Selina's mom to help distract him, but Alfred's the one who did most of the job and dealt the finishing blow. And that Talon was pretty damn scary, not like the pushover we got in the show *Gotham Knight* (okay his costume was pretty cool, but the first Talon from *Gotham* felt like much more of a menace) and had already effortlessly wrecked Alfred in their previous encounter. Speaking of Alfred and *Gotham Knight* , but the other one, the video game... I loved the scene when Alfred and Jacob Kane were chatting in the street and a thug tried to mug them at gunpoint... _"You know what?... Nevermind..."_ /runs away
Alfred also has multiple guns scattered across the house hidden so well not even Bruce could find them all. He is also a army medic from ww2. He also has no code against killing.
There’s a couple more I’d like to add. There’s the time a cannibal broke into the manor while Batman was away and Alfred shot him like 7 times. There’s also the time Booster Gold appeared in the Batcave and Alfred literally tried to blow his head off with a shotgun!
Thank you for sharing! And to think he meant to be an unimportant side character in the old comics. Alfred has cemented himself as an important member to Batman's family. Also, I want to see Batman vs Predator animated
I think leaving Alfred’s past a mystery makes him more interesting as a character it feels like he’s just the right person to be Batman’s/Bruce Wayne’s butler
Alfred is the best DC character, we honestly need more of him just trying to protect Bruce with that charm that apparently got him a night with the Queen, him just being there even for non-batfam. He was a rock to anyone that needed it, and a rock that smashed down bad guys.
The scene in Gotham where the woman from the Court of Owls is being questioned at the police station, and Alfred just walks in, tell her he isn’t a cop and stabs her in the hand.
Yep, I'm surprised he didn't show that one! "Yeah, but I'm not a cop am I? I'm a Butler!" *stabs her hand to the interrogation table* Alfred fighting Tigress to a standstill was also badass, beating Copperhead, killing the first Talon in their rematch, giving Bruce his father's watch to use as a brass knuckles to beat up a young Tommy Elliott (future Hush)... ... and best of all, */!\ season 5 SPOILER so if you want to give the show a chance one day, don't read the following /!\* . .. ... .. . crashing into Bane with his car, and then standing up to him alongside a young Catwoman to give Lee Thompkins and Barbara Kean some time to flee with Barbara & Jim Gordon's baby were also memorable moments for him. Sure, it ended perhaps the most brutal, one-sided beatdown from the entire show with Bane knocking Selina Kyle aside with one backhand, and then punching the crap out of Alfred, every impact felt through the noise and the blood flying out of his mouth/nose, and ended him with the show's version of the Bane back-breaker: Bane holding Alfred up in the air like he's going to snap him in half on his knee, but instead brutally slams him into a huge metallic pole... Alfred lying there looking dead, and Selina waking up, crawling toward him and crying for help despite her and Alfred never getting along in the show (on account on her being a no-good thief getting young master Bruce in all kinds of shenanigans; remember the Alfred pimp hand?) He survived, but he had to walk with a cane for the rest of his life after that... we got many, many awesome live action Alfreds over the years, but the one from *Gotham* is still my favorite. Sean Pertwee FTW
In the 1960's Adam West Batman show, he singlehandedly defeated the Joker in a swordfight (while using a fireplace poker instead of a sword) all while mocking his fencing skills and then trapped him on the Bat Pole by repeatedly lifting him up and dropping him over and over until he was terrified.
I think you should’ve mentioned the part where, in one of the comic book, Alfred actually sacrifices his life to save the entire fat family from Thomas Wayne, Batman, a.k.a. the flashpoint, Batman, and Bane
A Lotta people forget, in most iterations of the Batman universe, before Alfred was a butler/manager to the Wayne estate. He was a theater actor in England, he served many years in the British military doing special forces/espionage jobs, and somewhere in between there he learned boxing…. He worked for the Wayne’s cuz they were long time family friends and after “that part” of his life was over he needed something to do.
i love when ever alfred has a background in military even if its slightly less combat oriented like a field medic or secret intelligence member, you wouldn't raise batman without being a badass yourself.
Gotham Knights added a cool little scene where Alfred Pennyworth and Jacob Kane are walking the nighttime streets of Gotham City, when they're confronted by a street punk with a gun. Instead of outright confronting him, Alfred and Jacob carry on their conversation, the punk tries to get their attention again, only to lose a staring contest with the two gentlemen. Alfred didn't even need to fight, he stared the criminal to near-death and until he decides to leave the butler alone. "Quite an about face!" he says.
I always love the scene where alfred pulls out that shotty during the invasion of the cave by the Owls and he’s just going to town, killing all the Owls while batman is in the mech. Alfred is badass and you don’t want him as an enemy
Yup, defeated him in a duel, mocked his fencing skills, then trapped and terrorized him on the hidden Bat Pole. No matter the setting, one does not fuck with Alfred.
Can we appreciate the diversity of media represented here? We have animated movies, we have live action movies, we have TV shows, we have comic books, and we have video games and Alfred Pennyworth kicks butt in all of them. Don't mess with Alfred.
2:55 This reminds me of a short by Fire Department Chronicles about a CPR machine that people thought was going too deep, and would hurt the patient: "Their heart's not beating and they're not breathing. They're dead! You literally cannot make their day any worse than it already is."
Alfred is the closest thing we have in the DC universe to John Wick. It’s pretty safe to say that if Bruce hadn’t hunted down the killer of his parents, Pennyworth would’ve.
1:30 it actually goes to show just how far batman will go and the care he takes when fighting his opponents, if you think back it wouldn't be the first time his villains put themselves in similar situations, where there power is also their greatest undoing.
In booster gold #12 Alfred says: "perhaps you relied on my master's vow against using lethal force, let me assure you i subscribe to no such niceties" which is why if i were a DC character id damn well make sure to avoid pissing off Alfred
If I remember correctly, in his original origin he was a WW1 combat medic and now in his modern origin I believe he spent ten years part of the SAS. Either way, this puts into perspective that Alfred is a bonafide badass.

It's always amazing the backstories Alfred gets, the majority being Ex British Armed Forces/Intelligence either being hired as or joining into the family tradition of Butler to the Waynes
Wintegreen -- Deathstroke's butler -- same thing...in fact he and Slade Wilson served in combat together before Slade became the Terminator.
My Sad has often talked about a high school English teacher he had back in Rural Iowa back in the fifties. He appeared to be a smallish British Gentleman that couldn’t hurt a flea if he tried. Well, one of the school’s football playing students didn’t like getting reprimanded by him and decided to jump the teacher…………well, after a few quick moves the jock was unconscious and being drug into the hall by this teacher. After that little flare up was over, he closed and locked the door then walked back to his desk brushing his hands together like he was dusting them off.
Turns out that if Alfred Pennyworth was a real live man, Alfred and this teacher probably would have done some work together in wartime Britain.
We've got to appreciate the fact that while batman, superman, wonder woman, mister terrific and many more died, in the DCeased Alfred survived the zombie apocalypse
Alfred Pennyworth is the best butler of all, both in fiction and reality.
One word. Sebastian
@@alexzheng7441One Word. Nope.
The fact that he took a clip from someone playing as Alfred pennywoth kissing Selina is hilarious
Gotham Alfred is something else 💀
He killed a goddamn Talon in this show...
Sure, he had a little help from teenage Bruce, teenage Selina Kyle, and Selina's mom to help distract him, but Alfred's the one who did most of the job and dealt the finishing blow.
And that Talon was pretty damn scary, not like the pushover we got in the show *Gotham Knight* (okay his costume was pretty cool, but the first Talon from *Gotham* felt like much more of a menace) and had already effortlessly wrecked Alfred in their previous encounter.
Speaking of Alfred and *Gotham Knight* , but the other one, the video game... I loved the scene when Alfred and Jacob Kane were chatting in the street and a thug tried to mug them at gunpoint...
_"You know what?... Nevermind..."_ /runs away
Alfred also has multiple guns scattered across the house hidden so well not even Bruce could find them all. He is also a army medic from ww2. He also has no code against killing.
Alfred is the type of guy to bring a normal knife to fight superman, and win.
Bro wouldn’t even need the knife.
@@jacoba6747Bro DIDN'T need the knife
@@jacoba6747 The knife is to use as a makeshift coat hook
And he’s back with a BANGER!!!!
Alfred was the best friend Bruce never knew he needed.
There’s a couple more I’d like to add. There’s the time a cannibal broke into the manor while Batman was away and Alfred shot him like 7 times. There’s also the time Booster Gold appeared in the Batcave and Alfred literally tried to blow his head off with a shotgun!
This truly shows that Alfred is the ultimate giga chad
Thank you for sharing! And to think he meant to be an unimportant side character in the old comics. Alfred has cemented himself as an important member to Batman's family. Also, I want to see Batman vs Predator animated
I think leaving Alfred’s past a mystery makes him more interesting as a character it feels like he’s just the right person to be Batman’s/Bruce Wayne’s butler
Alfred is the best DC character, we honestly need more of him just trying to protect Bruce with that charm that apparently got him a night with the Queen, him just being there even for non-batfam. He was a rock to anyone that needed it, and a rock that smashed down bad guys.
My favorite Alfred moment.. All of them
3:30 To be fair Bruce was all "How can I even consider being able to save Gotham, if I can't even protect my family?"
I like to believe that when Alfred said to Superman, ' I am so disappointed in you ' Superman got hurt by that comment.
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
We can all agree Alfred is just a legend
The scene in Gotham where the woman from
the Court of Owls is being questioned at the police station, and Alfred just walks in, tell her he isn’t a cop and stabs her in the hand.
Yep, I'm surprised he didn't show that one! "Yeah, but I'm not a cop am I? I'm a Butler!" *stabs her hand to the interrogation table*
Alfred fighting Tigress to a standstill was also badass, beating Copperhead, killing the first Talon in their rematch, giving Bruce his father's watch to use as a brass knuckles to beat up a young Tommy Elliott (future Hush)...
... and best of all, */!\ season 5 SPOILER so if you want to give the show a chance one day, don't read the following /!\*

crashing into Bane with his car, and then standing up to him alongside a young Catwoman to give Lee Thompkins and Barbara Kean some time to flee with Barbara & Jim Gordon's baby were also memorable moments for him.
Sure, it ended perhaps the most brutal, one-sided beatdown from the entire show with Bane knocking Selina Kyle aside with one backhand, and then punching the crap out of Alfred, every impact felt through the noise and the blood flying out of his mouth/nose, and ended him with the show's version of the Bane back-breaker:
Bane holding Alfred up in the air like he's going to snap him in half on his knee, but instead brutally slams him into a huge metallic pole...
Alfred lying there looking dead, and Selina waking up, crawling toward him and crying for help despite her and Alfred never getting along in the show (on account on her being a no-good thief getting young master Bruce in all kinds of shenanigans; remember the Alfred pimp hand?)
He survived, but he had to walk with a cane for the rest of his life after that... we got many, many awesome live action Alfreds over the years, but the one from *Gotham* is still my favorite.
Sean Pertwee FTW
Not just stabs....
He f*cken pins her hand to the rable.
In the 1960's Adam West Batman show, he singlehandedly defeated the Joker in a swordfight (while using a fireplace poker instead of a sword) all while mocking his fencing skills and then trapped him on the Bat Pole by repeatedly lifting him up and dropping him over and over until he was terrified.
Well now I need to watch that scene
Especially love 6:34 Alfred's like stop being a simp and help/save people!!
I think you should’ve mentioned the part where, in one of the comic book, Alfred actually sacrifices his life to save the entire fat family from Thomas Wayne, Batman, a.k.a. the flashpoint, Batman, and Bane
Fat family?
Fat family 💀
A Lotta people forget, in most iterations of the Batman universe, before Alfred was a butler/manager to the Wayne estate. He was a theater actor in England, he served many years in the British military doing special forces/espionage jobs, and somewhere in between there he learned boxing…. He worked for the Wayne’s cuz they were long time family friends and after “that part” of his life was over he needed something to do.
i love when ever alfred has a background in military even if its slightly less combat oriented like a field medic or secret intelligence member, you wouldn't raise batman without being a badass yourself.
I fucking love Alfred. Such a badass ex-SAS operative.
"I know that the master has a disdain for firearms. I have no such qualms"
*blam*
Gotham Knights added a cool little scene where Alfred Pennyworth and Jacob Kane are walking the nighttime streets of Gotham City, when they're confronted by a street punk with a gun. Instead of outright confronting him, Alfred and Jacob carry on their conversation, the punk tries to get their attention again, only to lose a staring contest with the two gentlemen. Alfred didn't even need to fight, he stared the criminal to near-death and until he decides to leave the butler alone. "Quite an about face!" he says.
0:04 Batman doesn't kill but his servant does
Honestly I want to see absolutely *ALL* of Alfred's most badass moments.
My favourite moment will always be him shooting the batman who laughs “die demon die”
4:26 I thought Al shot a sex offender for a second there
I always love the scene where alfred pulls out that shotty during the invasion of the cave by the Owls and he’s just going to town, killing all the Owls while batman is in the mech. Alfred is badass and you don’t want him as an enemy
Pennyworth , Alfred pennyworth
I mean he is practically James bond in retirement
My favourite Alfred moment is when he becomes The Spectre in DCeased War Of The Undead Gods
I remember in the teen titans go movie trailers they had a joke about Alfred getting a movie. But like. I’d totally watch that
0:39 Alfred: what pill?
Alfred: I was just using my normal strength
The Man is back and it's Friday this day is perfect
Don't forget that Alfred beat the Joker himself and even neutralized him in one episode of the 60 decade tv series, that's some badass stuff.
Yup, defeated him in a duel, mocked his fencing skills, then trapped and terrorized him on the hidden Bat Pole. No matter the setting, one does not fuck with Alfred.
Can we appreciate the diversity of media represented here? We have animated movies, we have live action movies, we have TV shows, we have comic books, and we have video games and Alfred Pennyworth kicks butt in all of them. Don't mess with Alfred.
I always think of that Panda Redd skit “pretty please don’t kick me so hard your shoes explode”😂
Alfred is just as important to batman, just as gotham, Thomas and Martha Wayne, and the whole batfamily
2:55 This reminds me of a short by Fire Department Chronicles about a CPR machine that people thought was going too deep, and would hurt the patient: "Their heart's not beating and they're not breathing. They're dead! You literally cannot make their day any worse than it already is."
4:54 I think we all didn't actually gave this phrase enought importance.
Now I know where Batman gets his Rizz from.
Alfred literally started it all.
The last one is hilarious. "You are not getting any Talia until you've saved the city"
You see Alfred content and you click, life is simple.
GREAT VIDEO NEEDLE MOUSE PRODUCTION 👍
Alfred is a type of character to never get haters
that's because they're all scared of him.
It's always a good day when you upload
This man is unstoppable
Alfred is the closest thing we have in the DC universe to John Wick. It’s pretty safe to say that if Bruce hadn’t hunted down the killer of his parents, Pennyworth would’ve.
5:11 that shotgun looks like a blundedbuss
Cause it is
Alfred: *walks into the batcave *
The predator: why do I hear bloodborne music?
1:30 it actually goes to show just how far batman will go and the care he takes when fighting his opponents, if you think back it wouldn't be the first time his villains put themselves in similar situations, where there power is also their greatest undoing.
In booster gold #12 Alfred says: "perhaps you relied on my master's vow against using lethal force, let me assure you i subscribe to no such niceties" which is why if i were a DC character id damn well make sure to avoid pissing off Alfred
Alfred: *beats the ever living crap out of Superman*
Batman: "Did you swallow that Kryptonian pill?"
Alfred: "What pill, sir?"
1:47 he did what
Alfred has the dad lore !
Batman won’t kill because he doesn’t want to let himself slide down that slippery slope.
Alfred does not have such weaknesses.
7:25 we just gonna ignore that?
Nope, I saw that too 😂
Yes
LOL
Ye
Mods are fucking crazy!
If I remember correctly, in his original origin he was a WW1 combat medic and now in his modern origin I believe he spent ten years part of the SAS. Either way, this puts into perspective that Alfred is a bonafide badass.
You forgot the time alfred triple tapped a villian who broke into Wayne manor with only a gun that shot rubber bullets .
Batman has a no-killing rule. Alfred has no such scruples; and Batman is fine with this.
3:07 as an english-man, I can confirm, we are mostly like this
07:27
Daaaaamn, old man...😂😂 you scored with the Queen of England and with Catwoman.
Without Alfred, batman would surely loose it. He is his surrogate father after all. He's also been a grandfather figure to the rest of the batfamily
At this point I’m convince that Alfred fist fought a Grizzly Bear and won
