I've just thought of somethinfg. You say that Batman always wins and Alfred never lose's but if someone with finds a way to take control of Alfreds mine and make him attack Batman what happens?, does Batman lose? or does Alfred not win? Personally I think that rather then risk seriously injuring or even killing Alfred that Batman would let Alfred win and that's because in my opinion if Batman deliberately let Alfred win then Batman hasn't not won and Alfred hasn't lost

Even in the silliest version of Batman, Alfred manages to be stone cold awesome.

Alfred has come a long way from when he first appeared in the comics back in the 1940's. He was originally comic relief. Portly and a bit of a buffoon. One day he stumbled on the bat cave though and, rather than freaking out, simply made sure to lay out Bruce Wayne's "evening wear" for that night. He got a revamp after the Batman movie serial where they had a thin actor playing the role.

Alfred's badassery truly is timeless.

As overdramatic and ridiculous as the Adam West Batman TV series may be, you can't deny it has some entertaining and fun moments. As a child, even though I was born in 1984, i would watch reruns of this series RELIGIOUSLY and adored it as I was only 5 or 6 years old. This was my first Batman and I admired him GREATLY as an excellent hero. Once I was 16, I returned to it and found it at times cringeworthy, with extra ham and cheese but still had some fun moments. I felt a bit embarassed that I used to like it, but my father assured me that the series was NOT supposed to be taken seriously and to take it with a degree of comedy and a humorous approach to how comics can be silly at times. This helped me appreciate it more, as that was actually how it was supposed to be taken. From the beginning, the series was supposed to be a humorous take on the Batman comics, still with action and fun but it was melodramatic on purpose for the intention of giggles and chuckles.

Yup, while Bruce was slacking around in that underground prison, Joker broke out, found out Bruce's identity, went to Wayne Manor and had an epic battle with Alfred. That actually would have made the movie a lot better :D

The way Alfred says "I see" can be translated to "oooh so that's how you want to play this"

That rare moment when a side character beats a main villain. Quite rare actually at the time.

I already knew Alfred was badass, but this just solidifies it. He completely kept his cool while the Joker was obviously armed and had a hostage, then disarmed him easily and fought him off with nothing other than things lying around.

Alfred is the only character on the show who is as badass as he is in the comics. Most of the villains are second-rate, and Batman and Robin always get captured at the end of part one. It usually takes a lot more to capture the comics versions.

Those things being.. swords, but point still stands.

Every version of Alfred has his moments. In Harley Quinn, he took up a hero persona, in Telltale games he fought Two Face's goons with a machine gun, and I know for a fact he used a shotgun in the comics at some point. Let's face facts, as far as Butlers go, Bruce Wayne has one of the best for his line of work. :P

Alfred has always been amazing. We’ve seen him sword fight the Joker, blast ninjas to shreds and I think he helped fight Dracula one time. And we can’t forget about the time that Alfred beat Superman.

Joker: "I have a criminal organization." Batman: "We have an Alfred."
