"Pennyworth" Prequel Series about Alfred Pennyworth coming to Epix
- Thread starter Penguin
- Start date
Why is he always an ex special forces guy. The guy in the animated series didn't feel like that
Why can't we have him go through butler school or some shit man

Oh god lord we went from introducing all the characters on Gotham to introducing all the parents of all the characters with this show
And here I thought Krypton was stupid
And you know what? People eat this shit up
EDIT:
Only way I will accept this if it's a hardcore spy series with vauge Batman references

Yeah, who goes from being an ex special forces guy to a Butler?
If he wanted to work for Wayne, he could have instead been his security guard and head of security at the mansion.
He feels immense guilt at failing to protect the parents that he vows to protect their son.
Remember when Sony was going to make an Aunt May movie and that was the epitome of "We're out of ideas"?
Warner Bros: "Hold my beer."

Its been his backstory for a long time that he was in the Military for awhile and he left when his dad died.
His Dad was Bulter for the waynes first and the Pennyworths were on good terms with the waynes, So when his dad died He look up his old position because he was looking to get out the military around that time and he wanted to feel closer to his Dad at the time.
But he was also ex-special ops in the animated series.
There's like 2 episodes that focus on that.
It's really not the worst idea given that both the comics and films have alluded to him being a badass in his earlier years.
With the right casting, this could actually be pretty cool.

Actually, if I recall correctly, there was an episode that explored his backstory a bit and alluded to his prior work as a soldier/agent type character.
I mean if you think about this as just a period piece spy drama in 60s London with a former SAS Agent it doesn't sound so bad. It's just the Batman baggage.
I guess timeline wise we must be talking like mid to late 60s with Thomas and Alfred in their 20s? A contemporary Bruce would've had pretty old parents and butler otherwise.

And one of his best friends is an American named HArry HArrison, a pale fellow with a peculiar sense of humor who dreams of establishing a chain of successful amusement parks in Gotham.
Also, he sees a nameless orphaned urchin child trying to mend a pot and he's all "cobble that pot together, boy!"

Bonus points if he's an overweight buffoon for the first series and then goes through a rapid change just in time for the second.

Lol, this is the nerd version of "this Onion article actually became a real thing":
Not that I mind, why not. But the idea is still pretty funny.
Also I don't know what Epix is.

And in the finale they reveal that he banged Martha behind Thomas' back and that he's actually Bruce's biological father.
I misread the title in the exact same way and thought, "hmmmm, might be interesting."
This though, haha.
But, he was an ex-spy in the animated series.
This.
