Line 159:
During several critical junctures in Batman's career, Alfred was the key factor in his survival. A master surgeon, Alfred was almost always the one to patch him back up after particularly gruesome battles, since Batman couldn't very well simply go to the hospital. Alfred can be said to be the closest thing to a father figure that Bruce has - his advice is the often the only one that Bruce gives a second thought about. Or, as Michael Caine has said, he's more of the replacement mother figure in contrast with Gordon's replacement father.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: His full name is Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth.
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Battle Butler]]: Perhaps the ur-example.
Line 168 ⟶ 169:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Drop What You Are Doing]]: When he sees that Stephanie Brown is still alive, he drops a tea tray. Steph comments that it's good to see him lose his cool demeanor.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: In addition to the change in appearance, his last name was "Beagle" in the earliest stories. It was retconned to "Pennyworth" in 1969.
* [[Good Hair, Evil Hair]]: Subverted; the pencil mustache that he's normally portrayed with is usually associated with villains.
* [[The Jeeves]]: What do you expect from one of the most classic butlers in existence?
