In one universe, Alfred was the Joker.

Which comic is that? It sounds familiar.

So, this happened in the comics and show, alfred got older and passed away, bruce wayne retired as batman, he managed the batcave, and a younger protege took up the batman mantle.

I dont know what this malarkey is about thinking someone cant be too old for a job.

I call this one "American Politics".

This is Alfred slander. He's the only person on Earth who can slap sense into fucking Batman, not some old fuck who should have been in hospice care two years ago

Absolutely! I'd take Alfred, if he were the option. At least he could string together a sentence that makes sense. So essentially, our choice is between the Joker and the Riddler.

Can the Democrats please stop tolerating everything? We haven't even officially declared a candidate. Let's take a good look at our options and stop forcing the country into another awful Sophie's choice.

Seems like such an odd comparison. Alfred Pennyworth is a certified badass, he would absolutely keep Wayne Manor and the Batcave both managed and defended until the day he dies if he wishes to.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Alfred is not a certified badass in every version of Batman. In fact, that's generally a rather recent thing.

The fact the office of the president has to be likened to Alfred to make sense is quite underhanded and indicative of a greater issue.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago (3 children)

And yet the most pressing issue right now is Alfred vs. Joker. It's one or the other unless something drastic changes. So pick Alfred and then work on the next problem.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

The 'next' problems are concurrent, unfortunately.

The GOP may very well wind up with a veto proof Congress at this rate and it will all be for nought.

No no, it's 1st world human nature to make things worse. Why fix the billionaire problem now, when we can elect the joker and try and fix it then? It'll be so much easier to fix it then, right?

I hate our instant gratification culture so much.
