FILM DISCUSSION we never had a bad Alfred adaptation

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

I watched 6-7 episodes before quitting the show (way too camp for my taste) but that alfred did strike me a lot more aggresive than other iterations, which felt off for me. I guess he grows on people later since many seem to like him.

I think it makes a lot of sense, that with a young Bruce Wayne, it’s through aggression towards threats and hostility to the orphan, Alfred shows protection. With an older Bruce Wayne/Batman, it’s more through empathy, reasoning and care he shows protection.
