Alfred Pennyworth
for Alfred Pennyworth in Batman: The Symbol of Justice
Suggested by 125256
Batman is no more, the caped crusador hasn't been relevant for over 10 years, but the symbol and influence lives on. Police are trained in the way the dark knight used to so there's no need for the masked vigilante to be in charge of Gotham's crime rate. Comissioner James Gordon has a firm grip on his cadets and it seems he's not letting go of that grip, which let's Bruce sleeps his nights well. For those absent years Bruce Wayne has been focusing on his beloved family, including his wife Talia and their son Damian. Alfred is still in shape although he is not in his prime like in the days of Batman. Although it would seem that Bruce is a happily retired man, he misses the old days. Sometimes he sneaks out at night to have a walk in the batcave, which hasn't been used for those 10 years. Sometimes he goes outside to the mansion's garden to mourn on his parents and Jason. Bruce also misses the one person who gave him the thrill of being a hero with no boundaries. Selina. He still misses Selina eventhough he has a wife, Talia, a love of his life. He knows that he couldn't have an affair with Selina if he ever finds her again. But the passion for fighting alongside a rogue and spending the nights with her incites him.
