Alfred Pennyworth

Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth is a fictional character who appears throughout the DC Universe. The character first appears in Batman #16, and was created by writers Bob Kane and Bill Finger, and artist Jerry Robinson. Alfred serves as a loyal, tireless butler who assists his employer's secret life as Batman. In modern interpretations, he is depicted as Bruce Wayne's butler, legal guardian, best friend, aide-de-camp, and surrogate parent following the murders of Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne. He has sometimes been called "Batman's batman". He also provides comic relief, as his sometimes sarcastic and cynical attitude often adds humor to dialogue occurring between himself and Batman. A vital part of the Batman mythos, the character has been consistently popular over the years, having received a nomination for the R.A.C. Squiddy Award for Favorite Supporting Character in 1994 and for Best Character in 2001. Alfred was also nominated for the Wizard Fan Award for Favorite Supporting Male Character in 1994.

Characters range from more mature characters like Homer Simpson to Beavis and Butthead to classic children's cartoon characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Blue, Rocko, and Doug Funnie.During the '90s, mature cartoons started to become popular with many teens and young adults. Mike Judge was at the forefront of this movement creating the aforementioned Beavis and Butthead TV show along with King of the Hill, whose main character Hank Hill can be seen on this list. These famous cartoons are the forefathers to characters like Peter Griffin, Stan Smith and the rest of the Seth MacFarlane universe.

A list of the most memorable movie sidekicks of all time. The collection of colorful and unique characters in the list below represent some of the greatest roles ever played on the big screen. These legends of cinema act as a supporting player to the film's central characters, but it doesn't mean they are less important. Often, the sidekick appears throughout the movie as a confidant to the lead or protagonist but later plays a pivotal role in the plot. At times they provide comic relief to more serious dramas and epic adventures, while other times they end up as the emotional core of the entire storyline. Trusted sidekicks in a famous film franchise also become some of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-movie-characters-of-all-time">the most beloved characters of all time</a> because the audience identifies with them more than the hero. A right-hand man or woman offers support, gives advice, loyal to the protagonist and just plain awesome. Other times they turn to the dark side and turn into <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movie-villains-of-all-time">a cinematic villain</a>, adding a twist or element of surprise to an otherwise boring plot.

While DC villains may wonder who&#39;s under the cowl, readers likely want to know who has been Batman in the comics. But answering the question, &quot;Who has been Batman besides Bruce Wayne?&quot; is a tough one. After all, Elseworlds and other &quot;what if&quot; stories have included all sorts of tales where people other than Bruce Wayne become <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-dark-knight-plot-holes/zack-howe?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Dark Knight</a>.

When it comes to the main DC continuity, however, only a select few have been deemed worthy of protecting Gotham - or causing chaos in the Caped Crusader&#39;s costume. Heroes and villains alike have donned the cape and cowl, so here&#39;s a rundown of who has been Batman in comics continuity.

You decide by voting for your favorite Batman family members!While Dick Grayson became a great hero in his own right, eventually taking the Batman cowl and name, Jason Todd went the other way and became the anti-hero Red Hood.

Plenty of digital ink has been spilled&nbsp;debating&nbsp;who truly deserves the title of the Dark Knight&rsquo;s greatest enemy - is it Joker, Bane, Riddler, maybe Kite Man? - but an equally deserving discussion is the much more wholesome question of &ldquo;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/batmans-long-list-of-lovers/charlie-knauf?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Who is Batman</a>&rsquo;s best friend?&rdquo; It&rsquo;s not as easy to answer as one might think.

Of the many words that could be used to describe&nbsp;Bruce Wayne, &ldquo;friendly&rdquo; is not one of them. Typically, Gotham&rsquo;s Caped Crusader keeps his emotions locked away a lot tighter than the inmates at Arkham Asylum.&nbsp;Every now and then, though, someone will manage to form a real connection with the Batman against all odds.

The top candidates for the job of Batman&rsquo;s best friend are obvious - Alfred Pennyworth, Dick Grayson, and even <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/reasons-batman-hates-superman/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">his frequent frenemy Superman</a> - but they&rsquo;re not the only ones with a claim to the title of No. 1 Bat-Pal. Maybe there is a big heart hiding under that cowl, after all.&nbsp;

For the vast majority of people currently living on Earth, the only butlers anyone has seen have been in movies. Ask any fan of film, and there&#39;s a good chance they can name at least one famous butler, with characters like Alfred Pennyworth from&nbsp;Batman,&nbsp;Wadsworth from&nbsp;Clue, Delbert Grady from The Shining,&nbsp;or even Riff Raff from&nbsp;The Rocky Horror Picture Show&nbsp;coming to mind. It&#39;s a sad truth that hardly any of us would ever be in a situation where a butler might come into our lives, but if you could have one from any movie, who would it be?

There are plenty to choose from, but identifying the best butlers from more than a century of movies is no easy task. For the purposes of this list, a butler is anyone who serves an estate or family but may or may not be the only servant in that estate. It&#39;s necessary to make that distinction, seeing as a butler is the head of staff, and they typically aren&#39;t the sole employee in an estate. The aforementioned Pennyworth is a perfect example of this, and there aren&#39;t many people who wouldn&#39;t immediately identify him as a butler.

Check out the movie butlers in the list below, and don&#39;t forget to vote for the butlers you would love to serve your&nbsp;estate!

For the Fanboys and Fanatics

Animated

Voice acting may be the most important element of a successful animated show, and though the voice acting in superhero cartoons of the '90s wasn't always the best, it was some of the most fun voice acting of all-time.The majority of hero voices were bland, square-jawed, Anglo Boy Scouts, and most of the heroines were even more boring. Most male villains were either cackling high-pitched banshees or dumb thundering brutes, while the bad girls often took the sleazy seductress route. Without strong voice work, everything else falls flat. Flavorless portrayals let the parade of muscle-bound hunks blend together into an unintelligible mush. For example, on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, there is nothing aside from headbands and weapons that visually&nbsp;separates the main characters. It was left to the cast to differentiate the four unique personalities. Without delineated vocal stylings, they would have just been Turtles #1-4. The voices that sounded truly unique to their characters are the ones that really stood out, and they usually did so by setting a baseline that referenced the key characteristics that had made the character popular in the first place. The best cartoon superhero voices of the '90s utilized accents, vernacular, tempo, pitch, timbre, and tone to craft a performance that fit their character, that could never be mistaken for another character, and let the audience know what that character was about from the moment they first spoke. The following are the best voices from superhero cartoons of the '90s.

But there&rsquo;s a difference between the average retcon for storytelling&rsquo;s sake and those altered backstories that are made necessary by the passage of time in the real world.

Like all fictional creations, superheroes are ultimately products of the era in which they were created, and sometimes that leads to anachronisms. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-10-lamest-super-hero-origins/ihateeverything" target="_blank">Whenever a character&rsquo;s origin</a> is specifically tied to a historical event, that means it&rsquo;s only a matter of time before the connection becomes awkward and renders them too old for tights - unless there&rsquo;s a clever fix available to help&nbsp;it all make sense&nbsp;again.&nbsp;

The Best of the 2010s

There was plenty of tragedy in the decade between 2010 and 2019, both fictional and in the real world, and a fair portion of it took the form of one of the most unique events in all of literature - comic book death. No other medium looks at the afterlife through quite the same lens as comic books, and each on-page demise comes with its own set of rules and expectations that only make sense to dedicated readers well-versed in the trope.

Though he may be unpredictable&nbsp;and&nbsp;often difficult, Christian Bale is&nbsp;pretty great at self-preservation.

DC Comics&#39; Alfred Pennyworth is one of the most beloved non-superpowered characters in all of comic books,&nbsp;and he&rsquo;s far more than just &ldquo;Batman&rsquo;s butler.&rdquo; For evidence of just how many people consider themselves fans of Pennyworth, one need look no further than the reaction to Alfred&rsquo;s passing in 2019&rsquo;s Batman #77 -&nbsp;and the massive outpouring of grief and rage that resulted.&nbsp;

Unfortunately for <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/alfred-batman-zingers/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">the notoriously witty Alfred Pennyworth</a>, his passing was just the latest in a long string of moments that would be considered bizarre for anyone to go through,&nbsp;even the best friend of a superhero. Before his untimely demise, Alfred had to deal with failed weddings, long-lost children, and a severed hand,&nbsp;so one might go as far as to say that his passing came as a relief. Of course, this being comic books, it&rsquo;s probably not a reprieve that will last very long,&nbsp;so Alfred better enjoy the afterlife while he can.&nbsp;

Life Has Been Rough For Alfred Pennyworth Lately In DC Comics

You can&rsquo;t throw a stick on the internet without hitting some sort of celebratory list of Batman&rsquo;s feats - but where are the breakdowns of Alfred Pennyworth&rsquo;s best moments? After all, he&rsquo;s been there every step of the way on Bruce Wayne&rsquo;s Bat-journey, but even decades of published heroism haven&#39;t been enough to raise the good butler up from the ranks of the underrated.&nbsp;

Those in-the-know recognize Alfred as one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/coolest-non-superhero-comic-characters" target="_blank">greatest supporting characters in comic book history</a>, but those who really know their stuff will tout Mr. Pennyworth as a genuine superhero in his own right. He may not share the martial prowess or brooding brutality of the Dark Knight, but without him, the Batman&rsquo;s career would have likely ended shortly after it began. Batman never would have been able to save the world a hundred times over without Alfred - and&nbsp;when the situation has called for it, Alfred has never shied away from performing a little heroism of his own.&nbsp;

15 Times Alfred Pennyworth Was A Superhero In His Own Right

With the 2016 release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the world will meet Batman's stalwart butler, confidant, surrogate parent, legal guardian, surgeon, quartermaster, and friend, Alfred Pennyworth, again for the first time. Jeremy Irons will take up the role alongside Ben Affleck. As Batman has changed over the years, so has Alfred. He's been portrayed in theatrical films, made-for-TV movies, television serials, live-action television shows, animated television shows, comics galore, video games, toys, and wherever else the Batman mythos has reached. The only thing he hasn't done is be the star of his own property, but even that could be on the horizon.His origins, or more accurately, how he came to be of service to Bruce Wayne and what exactly he did before that, are an ever-changing landscape. Some versions have a military background, some portray the Wayne Manor butlership as a hereditary inheritance, and in some cases, Alfred came to the Waynes after a career in acting. His skill set seems to swell to fit the occasion to the point where he's even thrown on the cape and cowl and masqueraded as the Caped Crusader himself! Which are the best Alfred portrayals?

The Best Versions of Alfred in Batman History

Without Alfred Pennyworth, there would be no Batman. Depending on which version of the mythology you prefer, Alfred is either a rough and tumble British bloke with a mysterious past, or a well-trained servant who’s way too good with computers for a septuagenarian. In every iteration of the character, though, Alfred the butler mocks Batman. Most billionaires-turned-superheroes would probably fire their help if they spoke to them the way Alfred jokes with Bruce, but Alfred keeps the world’s greatest detective grounded; keeps the hype from going to Bruce’s head. In celebration of everyone’s favorite butler, this list compiles Alfred Pennyworth's best burns.Whether you like your Alfreds lean and mean like Gotham’s <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/sean-pertwee-movies-and-films-and-filmography/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Sean Pertwee</a>, or you prefer Michael Gough’s wise elderly take on the character in <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/tim-burton-batman-trivia/coy-jandreau?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Tim Burton's Batman</a> films, there are plenty of sick Alfred burns on this list. It would seem that there isn’t one version of the Dark Knight (animated or otherwise) where Alfred doesn’t give Bruce Wayne a piece of his mind whenever he feels like it. One of the best things about these droll zingers is that you can tell they come from a place of love. After all, it’s not every day that you meet someone who’ll cook you breakfast after a long night spent fighting crime in Gotham. Vote up the best of Alfred’s zingers, and if we left one of your favorite dry, British Alfredisms off the list, make sure to tell us about it in the comments.
