Alfred Pennyworth is Bruce Wayne's loyal butler who assists his employer in his duties, both as Bruce Wayne and as the Batman. He had previously worked for Bruce's parents, Thomas and Martha Wayne, until their deaths.
After Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered, Alfred did not act as a father toward Bruce, feeling it was not his place, and maintained the distance of a proper English butler. It has been one of his biggest regrets, and his behavior towards Dick is vastly different because of it.[1]
Physical appearance[]
Alfred is a slim Caucasian male, with gray hair and a mustache. He typically wears a three-piece suit, a black jacket, a maroon vest, and a white long-sleeved shirt with a black tie.
History[]
Early life[]
Alfred had been in the Wayne family's employ since Bruce was a child, and continued to do so even after his parents were murdered.[1]
Alfred monitored Batman and Robin on their mission in Cape Canaveral. From the Batcave, he had a full view of the mission through a camera in Batman's cowl.[3]
Alfred checked up on Batman when he was analyzing a Clayface sample. He wondered if his master had an actual plan, or if he was leaving the dirty work to the Team.[4]

Bruce asked Alfred to summon Dick, so Bruce could play basketball with him. He smiled as he watched them play.[5]
Alfred Pennyworth is a staple of Batman's supporting cast. He is Bruce Wayne's loyal butler, legal guardian, and confidant; he is also one of the few characters who knows that Bruce is Batman.
