A class act.
Didn't care for his Alfred though.....
Alfred never would have ratted out Bruce and brought some chick to the Batcave.
Alfred raised Bruce and has a fatherly concerned for Bruce. Alfred wanted Bruce to settle down happily with Vicki Vale and get married and stop grimly brooding over his parents murders and obsessing on avenging his parents by warring on crime for the rest of his life.
Alfred: I have no wish to spend my few remaining years grieving for the loss of old friends. Or their sons.
Miss Vale called. She was rather concerned. I feel that there's a certain weight that lifts when she is here.
Bruce: (sarcastically) Alfred...why don't you marry her?
Alfred: That's not exactly what I had in mind, sir.
Bruce: I can't think about that now.
Alfred: If not now, when?
Miss Vale called, again. Dare I suggest that your present course of action might simply strengthen her resolve. She is quite tenacious.
Bruce: You're right about that.
Alfred: And if I may say so, quite special. Perhaps you could try telling her the truth.
In Batman Returns, after Bruce and Vicki broke up, Alfred is trying to encourage Bruce to date...
Alfred: Why are you now determined to prove that this Penguin is not what he seems? Must you be the only lonely man-beast in town?
Shall we change the channel to a program with some dignity and class...The Love Connection, perhaps?
This fatherly concerned for Bruce and wanting Bruce to settle down happily with a nice woman and get married and have a family and stop grimly brooding is true to Alfred in the comics.
