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.
I don't know...Alfred's one that they messed around with when it would be convenient.
He was also dead for a while back in the sixties.
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?
He came back wrong.
What, did he fuck Two-Face?

really. shouldn't. laugh. that. hard. at. work.
now I want to see/write Connor/Robin slash.
I downloaded the first 2 seasons of Batman Beyond (I'm 4 episodes into season 2) and have noticed one thing about the show. While Batman never kills anyone directly, a very high number of the villains on the show seem to fall prey to explosions, collapsing buildings and plummeting vehicles, usually immediately after Batman has escaped those locations. It's an odd break from the original B:tAS where Batman goes out of his way to try and avoid even incidental deaths. (Granted Terry and Bruce are two different people, but it seems odd that Terry is more of the one to just shrug and say "Whoops" while the big bad of the episode goes up in a giant fireball.)
