Artwork: Alfred Pennyworth by Phil Cho
I like this, it's a very fashionable look for Alfred.
Looks like the artist may have been inspired by Alfred from the Batman: The Animated Series version, who was voiced by the late Efrem Zimbalist Jr.. Coincidentally, the BTAS Alfred is one of favorites.
I have so many favorite Alfreds, however there is only one that I don't like and that's the one on the Gotham TV series played by Sean Pertwee. It's bad enough that he's rude and sketchy but to have him hit Selina in the face that pretty much cemented this version as the WORST Alfred Pennyworth ever.
Alfred was never crass, slimy or unsophisticated but the Gotham version seems to wallow in being as despicable as possible. Why would the show's creative team create such an awful version of Alfred?
