    Alfred is the heart and soul of the Batman mythos, and his absence is felt any time he is not there. His compassion, love and firm example are what kept took a group of broken, angry, scared kids and turned them into a family. Without him, there might still be A Batman, but it would not be THE Batman.

    How do you forget what he did for Cassandra Cain and Jason Todd? He knew they came from the worse versions of a broken home. Tempered the anger (as much as he could) for Jay and taught Cassie how to read and made her realize she was just as important as a Robin.

    If it wasn’t for Alfred constantly making Bruce go out in his fruity, clumsy daytime persona, all of Gotham would have figured out Batman’s identity within a year. Also Alfred serves the reader as one of the only characters that knows Bruce far better than himself (Catwoman and Nightwing probably both fall into this category as well, but even so, still not of Alfred’s level). A perfect example is the page you showed where Tim asks if Bruce has ever had a woman know he is Batman before, and Alfred explains to Tim (the audience) how Bruce treats romance and secrets. Bruce would never talk about those things in those ways, so it’s helpful to hear about it from his protective father figure who has some perspective on his behavioral trends. Plus he doesn’t represent these huge concepts in Alfred’s mind, like he does to his sons. Alfred sees him as he is, and helps the audience to see him that way as well-all the humanity, fallibility, and self-doubt beneath the Batman.

    DC in the last few years has done some really stupid things Like Killing off Alfred, and making Jon Kent age, so he won't have any more stories with Damian Wayne! I think the latest group of Producers and Writers have tried to be original to the detriment of the Legacy of the comic storylines!

    As somebody who loves it when characters grow and move forward, I'd ideally like to see him remain gone. I hated it when Spider-Man editors decided to bring Aunt May back (clone saga) and I hated it when they had him sell his marriage to the devil to save her (after bringing her back.) My all time favorite Ninja Turtles story (that really didn't get told) was season five of the 2012 series. Splinter was dead and Leo and the family were forced into a new reality in which Leo was the head of Clan Yoshi. Losing Alfred, like May and Splinter, represents the character(s) fully growing into adulthood. Without that last surrogate parent figure, the hero must now bare the weight of the world on their shoulders and for the first time realize that they aren't (and never were) capable of handling it all on their own. We can still get new stories with Alfred via flashbacks, "untold tales", alternate realities, etc. Ideally, I'd even like to see it progress to the point that the hero (Bruce) is no longer the hero (Batman). Break down Bruce on a physical level and make the point that his body is beyond repair after what he's put it through. (Similar to The Dark Knight Rises) Give us something similar to the Bruce of "Batman Beyond", but with the large team he's assembled in the comics. I know DC would NEVER do what I'd like to see. But then again, if they did, it'd all be undone in about three weeks when DC reboots the entire universe again. After that, Bruce is a teenager. Alfred is in his late 20s, and all the Robins and other sidekicks are only "easter eggs".

    Batman without Alfred is like Spiderman without Aunt May, Frodo without Samwise, or Superman without Martha and Johnathan Kent. Far as I'm concern anyway marvel and DC current stories are just written by awful people and nothing they write should be considered canon to these characters once propped up by professionals with hearts.

    Alfred was a stone cold killer soldier warrior that suffered from PTSD. When he saved Thomas Wayne’s life he brought Alfred into the family as a butler. Bruce was always Alfred’s kid in his mind. Alfred whooped plenty of “Super Heroes”. He even humbled Superman in injustice. He’s more like a spotter for a sniper for Batman.
