No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I don't know...Alfred's one that they messed around with when it would be convenient.

There was one great back-of-the-issue 8 pager where Alfred announces he's going back to acting. This is just afte Wayne comes back from his 12 years abroad. Bruce gets home and Alfred is all "Welcome home, Master Bruce, anyways I'm outta heah." And Bruce convinces him to stick around for just a little while.

Alfred ends up coaching Bruce in some things to help him be the Bat. "No, use a different voice, a lower voice. No, use the cape this way, it's scarier" etc.

And Alfred gradually realizes that he doesn't want to go back to "ACTING!"

I think it was called "Waiting in The Wings" or something like that.

Yeah, that was a great short. And probably the kernel of inspiration that the B:tAS writers used to make Alfred an ex-spy.

I mentioned this to Thomash the other night - that the animated series, while not at all adherent to canon, tried to stay true to the spirit of canon. If that makes sense....

Makes perfect sense to me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

He was also dead for a while back in the sixties.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

He was also dead for a while back in the sixties.

Oh right. And he was also a villain for a while after that, wasn't he?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

He came back wrong.

He came back wrong.
