Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth is one of the few people in the world who know that his wealthy employer is secretly the crimefighter and detective known as Batman. Alfred’s job includes not just keeping stately Wayne Manor tidy, but also taking care of the entire Batcave and making sure that Batman’s vehicles and equipment are always well-polished and in tip-top shape. Agility: 3 |
LEGO Batman Movie[]
Alfred Pennyworth has been the butler to the Wayne family for pretty much forever. Hard-working, long-suffering and utterly loyal, he sees it as his responsibility not just to keep Wayne Manor and the Batcave clean and tidy, but also to look after his employer’s well-being…even when Batman doesn’t necessarily agree. He has in many ways been a father figure to Batman and he cooks an amazing lobster thermidor. Bat-Fact: In fact, worth a lot more than a penny.
Disco[]
Now this is one stuffy old butler who can really cut a rug! That’s old-fashioned talk for “dance well” if you’re a youngster. Surprisingly enough, Alfred is also pretty great with that electric guitar. Batman™ would tell you that he must have been picking up pointers from the Dark Knight’s own big musical career. Alfred, on the other hand, would probably say he taught Batman everything he knows!
Vacation[]
Alfred Pennyworth™ comes from a time when butlers never rested, movies were black-and-white, and bathing suits covered you from your shoulders to your knees. Here on the beach with a glass of tropical fruit juice in his hand, he’s about as relaxed as it’s possible for Alfred to get…though you’ll notice that his collar is just as clean and crisply starched as ever!
Notes[]
- In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Alfred appears in the Batcave hub, but may not be tagged.
- To unlock Alfred in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, the player must collect 35 gold bricks. He can be found at the door of the Wayne Manor mansion (North Island) in Gotham City.
- He is nearly identical to the Enemy Butler from Indiana Jones, although the Enemy Butler lacks Alfred's mustache.
- He is the only character of The LEGO Batman Movie who later returns in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part.
- In The LEGO Batman Movie, Alfred is voiced by Ralph Fiennes, who is best known for playing Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter films. However, Voldemort is instead voiced by Eddie Izzard in The LEGO Batman Movie. Director Chris McCay asked the studio if Fiennes could voice both parts but ultimately decided against it, explaining that doing so without Alfred and Voldemort directly interacting would have been seen as a missed opportunity.[1][2]
- In The Batman, Alfred was portrayed by Andy Serkis, who also portrayed Gollum, the Ringwraith, and the Witch-King in the Middle Earth films; Ulysses Klaw in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; and Supreme Leader Snoke in Star Wars.
