Alfred Pennyworth

Yeah, it is.

Batman's butler is named Alfred Pennyworth.

Yeah, Alfred could be cool.

Alfred could be nice.

What these guys need is organization.

Um, we got Alfred Pennyworth, super spy-

[laughs]

... is, uh, on the scene, and he's instructed by his definitely evil bosses to monitor but not interfere with the Party Animals, but, yes, to interfere with Batman if he gets a chance.

Uh, okay.

So now we're gonna talk about issue two, uh, and issue three.

So issue two's cover is Batman leaping at, uh, Alfred Pennyworth, super spy.

Um, pretty good cover, not quite as iconic as issue one, not quite as fun as the next issue's cover, but a still beautiful, uh, cover.

She does kind of, like, successfully collect, like, enough evidence to publish a piece.

She makes the mistake of asking Alfred about it, not knowing that Alfred is, like, in on this.

And Alfred's like, oh, fuck.

I gotta do something about this.

um but uh what ends up happening is that some of the photos that she had that she was using as evidence get stolen and they end up in the hands of rupert thorn not important he's like a corrupt gotham politician um who hates batman due to the corruption sounds like he's a real thorn

So, Thomas Elliot, at this point, is pretending to be Bruce because Alfred...

Deep beneath Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson unload a moving truck parked inside the original Batcave.

Their fateful butler Alfred observes the duo carefully unloading a giant penny, a souvenir of one of their cases from long ago.

But unbeknownst to all three of them, they are also being observed from overhead by a large bat-like creature hanging upside down from the stalactites.

Bruce and Dick lose their grip on the giant penny, which spins on edge away from them across the vast space and collides against the far wall before landing tail-side up on the floor.

With no one hurt, all three men have a good laugh over the incident.

Their moment of mirth is interrupted by a buzzing signal, indicating there is someone ringing the front doorbell of Wayne Manor.

Alfred ascends to the main entrance to answer the door.

A young woman carrying a small girl in her arms briskly enters the manor, demanding to see Bruce Wayne.

Don't say that.

You've got to face it, Alfred.

Dick was cornered by a murderer named Marsh who had a gun.

Now they're both missing.

Yes, I know.

I've been telling myself all that, trying to find a ray of hope.

It's no good, Alfred.

Dick was cornered in an attic from which there was no escape...

I like the heroes and villains, I think, at the spotlight.

But I had to get Nick Fury, Amanda Waller, Alfred Pennyworth, and Aunt May.

I needed some moral compasses and some leaders.

And Nick Fury and Amanda Waller, I wanted an Avengers slash Justice League team.
