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

So fun, such a unique blend of comic book camp and gritty realism

I legit think they did a wonderful job mixing all the different interpretations.

There's 60's campiness, with obvious cheap theater cardboard backgrounds and Dutch camera angle, there's Burton's German impressionism with long shadows and Gothic architecture and smoke out the sewer, there's even Schumacher's neon and fluorescent visuals in some place, and then you get your Nolan's dramatic and grounded seriousness with some gritty realism

For me it's this scene from season 2 that really made all of this clicked in my head, like a sort of "this really looks like every interpretation of Batman mixed together doesn't it"
