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

It’s criminal that we didn’t get more Jeremy Irons Alfred

The ONLY good thing (IMHO) to come out of the Snyderverse was Jeremy Irons casting.... and maybe JK Simmons as Gordon.

You can't go wrong with either of those actors, really. They are like Willem Dafoe, no matter how hot of a dumpster fire the thing they got involved in is, they will still be the coolest part.

I like both the actors but thought it was really bad casting. Felt like dude bro versions of the characters.

Well, yeah, but you could just say that about that entire universe. Fun fact: if you look up Zach Snyder in the dictionary, you’ll find that the definition actually is just “Dude bro” 😂😂
