like how old is Alfred supposed to be in that?
the clash broke up like 35 years ago
a lot of people point to Bruce, especially due to the Robin's, as the goofy sliding time scale aspect of DC, but really it's gotta be Alfred since he had to be old enough to take care of Bruce after his parents were killed as a kid...and then there's the times they have Alfred as a loyal butler to the Wayne's for years prior...and on the other end of the spectrum you have the version where Alfred is some kind of UK fuckup (or on the run from MI6) of some sort who thanks to his family connections got the Wayne job as a last chance right before they were killed and he takes on Bruce out of also being lost
and then there's
Gotham's version where by the time Bruce is old enough to be Batman instead of The Shadow as a kid, Alfred's gonna be like 85 and Gordon's going to be in his 70s probably, Penguin not far behind...though it does better when it's just set in a version of Gotham City and the Batman world, especially with the totally fucked up life for Gordon and the show's pretty great casting and hammy acting, versus trying to actually be a Batman prequel...i might even prefer it at this point to
the idea that became Smallville because of how stupid nonsense it is, and actually kinda regret that it tried to be a prequel for that first season and setup characters like Renee and Crispus and Harvey Dent and so on, though they totally don't care about it at this point since they have done things like age Poison Ivy 15+ years between seasons
also i love that someone finally cast Julian Bashir as Ra's
plus since i have been intermittently catching up on it quite a bit behind what's airing, i get to pretend that BD Wong's Hugo Strange is just another of Whiterose's plans
wait, what is this thread supposed to be about again?
someone should make a batman video game, bet it would sell a lot, free tip to Warner Bros. from me
