BvS The Alfred Pennyworth Casting Thread

That's fine, because there is no role that Michael Caine can play that is more awesome than Michael Caine. But seriously, he was a fantastic Alfred.
 
He was good. Idk though I still really like Michael Gough's Alfred. Given the same material, I think Gough would've done a kickass job.

I'm ready for a new Alfred though. Alan Rickman YO.
 
I'd rather have an Alfred that is more similar in appearance to comics/animated Alfred. Plus Michael Caine just seemed to be playing himself

fair enough.

now that I think about it though, snape as alfred would be VERY interesting to watch... :word:
 
if james bond were there everybody would be thinking that alfred is bane super old without the mask
 
fair enough.

In another world I would have given Michael Nicholson a thumbs up for Alfred.
 
Honestly, basically any old British dude that's a good actor would be fine as Alfred.
 
No, Keith Richards is an overrated musician and an overrated cameo actor. I couldn't stand him in Pirates and i don't see Alfred in him.

Where'd you leave your sense of humor, Mr. Grumpy Pants?
 
I kinda wish Peter Capaldi wasn't cast as The Doctor because I could see him as Alfred. Just imagine how much he would berate Bruce. :o:hehe:
 
I think the respective ages of Affleck and Rickman may stop the latter from getting the role. An older Wayne would surely indicate an older Alfred?
Bruce took in Dick somewhere between 20 and around 25 at the latest. If Dick was around 8 to 10, this means an age disparity of 10 to 17 years. We're all OK with this, right? If Bruce is 40 in the movie and Alan Rickman is playing an Alfred that's the same age as him (which 67 right now), that'd be an age disparity of around 27 years. In that case, Alfred would have been about 35 years old when he took in the 8 year old Bruce. I think that's totally fine. Why not?
