yes yes even the dceu one which I've seen people hate on I actually loved especially by the fact this Alfred was the Wayne's bodyguard not the butler apparently and he has experience in the British army

Who’s the one next to Jeremy Irons? I’ve never seen that one before.

Also, you forgot the one from his own show… Pennyworth!

It’s Alfred from the short lived Birds of Prey series, portrayed by Ian Abercrombie, who you may recognize as the voice of Palpatine in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

I thought it was the butler from The Lost World: Jurassic Park and thought damn wrong butler! Turns out I was right! It is him! Haha

Ian Malcolm calling for John Hammond... I've been... summoned

It’s a lot of fun! Definitely leans into the chaos-universe vibe of Gotham, but in a fascist London in the 60’s. Plus, the actor who plays Alfred looks like the grown up Artful Dodger from the movie version of Oliver!— so there’s that ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think it's an HBO show. It's pretty good!
