Fan Casting Alfred Pennyworth in Wolfgang Petersen's Batman vs. Superman

A hologram. A ghost. A conscience that refuses to die even after the body is buried. Alfred raised Bruce Wayne, buried Thomas and Martha, buried Dick Grayson, and was himself buried before the story begins. When a broken Bruce reactivates the Batcave, Alfred returns as an artificial intelligence, stepping from the shadows with the devastating words, "It's been a long time, sir. Five years if I am correct." He is the walking wound at the center of Bruce's soul, the last, loving voice of reason echoing from beyond the grave.
