In the original Batman comics, Alfred didn’t raise Batman after his parents were killed; it was actually Bruce’s uncle, who was a wealthy aristocrat. Alfred joined the Batman cast years later, after Dick Grayson/Robin first appeared.

For a Batman TV show, what if this actually happens: Bruce’s parents are killed, he lives with his uncle, then leaves at 18 and comes back five years later. His uncle hires Alfred Pennyworth as the Wayne Manor house manager, and he’s 10 years older than Bruce. So instead of a father/son dynamic, it’s more of a brotherly or best-friend type of relationship.

Now, if you aren’t a Batman fan, you might not care—but this question is mainly for Batman fans: would you want to see something like this?

    Absolute Universe is incredible. Sometimes altered versions of well known characters doesn’t sit right, but the Absolute Universe pushed that so far that its its own beautiful thing. Really enjoying all of those comics, not just Batman. Wonder Woman is particularly cool.

        My post was for people who think exactly like me and who won’t disagree with me

        That’s always the best basis for a healthy discussion.

          for a healthy discussion

          No, it’s honest—you are not a real fan. You are objectively not, and here’s how I know: because you are one of those people who just hate Batman because he’s popular. Your arguments are used by people who are not actual fans—that is a fact. Again, can you please explain to me your opinion on Blue Beetle, Green Arrow, and Sunspot?
