Supercut Pays Tribute To Live-Action Versions of Alfred Pennyworth, Batman's Beloved Butler

Ben Affleck is a solid Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and I think Jeremy Irons could end up being a great Alfred if he's given enough material to work with. As it is, he didn't have very many moments to shine in the new film, but he made the most of it and did a fine job. The character of Alfred Pennyworth has traditionally been a source of dry wit in the comics and movies, and since humor seems to be something the new Batman and Superman films in the DCEU are largely looking to avoid, I wonder if Irons will get the chance he deserves to leave his mark and make a lasting impact as this character.

In any case, Slate is here with a supercut to the live-action versions of Batman's beloved butler. I really enjoyed Michael Gough's take, and Alan Napier was an excellent fit for the old '60s show (and movie), but I think Michael Caine might be the definitive version of the character in my mind right now. Who's your favorite cinematic Alfred? Sound off in the comments below.
