Has there ever been a shitty Alfred? I always figured that most, if not all versions of him are at least decent.
very hard to mess up the "loyal retainer" archetype.

In The Impostor
>>155230962I haven't watch it in awhile but I remember being a little soured on Nolan's Alfred during TDKR. That might just be memes though.
Not a fan of Earth-1 Alfred.
the original non-pennyworth seemed kinda useless

The only story I can think of where Alfred comes off as particularly lame is Crimson Mist, but it's the third book in the Elseworlds series where Batman gets turned into a vampire, so by that point he's really gone through the ringer.
>>155230962In the newer television animated series, Batman: Caped Crusader, they fucked him all up. And they made Batman kind of a dick too. I want to like the show, but it's hard to get over a lot of what they did.
>>155230962Alfred canonically threw Jason under the bus to ensure Bruce that it wasn't his fault that he died.
>>155230962The pre-Crisis one that died and came back as a villain. That was really dumb and creatively bankrupt even by Silver Age standards.
Never like the one from The Batman.The Kids WB cartoon, not the movie.
The young one from Pennyworth

>>155233417How did they fuck him up?
>>155230962How do we rank the Absolute one?
>>155230962Of course. Every character has at least one shitty writer and in Alfred’s case, it’s Tom Taylor.
>>155235159He's fat and secretly resents taking care of Bruce
>>155233417It's kind of funny how Bruce Timm who is known for drawing sexy thin ladies made almost every character fat and short in this series. Only Batman, Catwoman, and the Gordons escaped the fat hammer.
>>155235584So he’s classic

>>155237076Artist did a great job on that machine gun
