@@charlescabbage2933 Grew up on streets, joined service to do good. Went SAS back if their start. Then merc for hire after where he met the wayne family and devoted his life to them.
Are we forgetting he trains with fricking BATMAN mI6, SAS, back alkyd crap, is nothing. He regularly trains with the pound for pound most dangerous man on the planet!
@dieselthegodd003 yeah but I meant unexpectedly like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, or Gru from Despicable Me. It's almost like an ultra instinct type of moments.
@@snas1686 yep, I believe he was also a mercenary for some time. Its also canon that he has hidden a shotgun in wayne manor so well Bruce didn’t find it.
I do think Alfred be the goat but he took a pill to fight him but he did they obliterate him tbh EDIT:I don’t know why it auto corrected to they even tho I didn’t spell it🤔
I love that Alfred doesn’t have to follow Batman’s “no killing” rule. Alfred isn’t as unhinged has most of the Bat Family. And he’s Bruce’s last resort if stuff goes very south.
Nightwing: Bruce, what is your last line of defense for the house? The Batcave? All of this? What happens if every one of your contingencies fails? What's left? *Alfred Pennyworth loads shotgun with murderous intent*
In the comics it’s revealed Alfred has: 1. No problems with killing people. 2. A recurring dream in which he murders the Joker in cold blood, from which he wakes up smiling. Dude is colder than ice.
Alfred served in the British military. He was a medic in the Royal Air Force and a member of the Royal Marines, British Secret Service and the British Army's Special Air Service
He actually says something like this when the Court of Owls shows up in the Batcave I think lol he has a shotgun and is like um yeah I don’t have a no kill rule bro yall should leave haha
He’s is Bruce’s greatest teacher, advisor, confidant, and caretaker. He is why Bruce is able to do such incredible things and selfless things, because he was raised by an incredible and selfless person.
A former soldier, and the only man that can keep things hidden from Batman, but also treats him with the greatest love. The man had so many guns hidden away from Bruce that even when Bruce said he's gonna get rid of them, he just told him that he'll never find them all. Not to mention, (maybe wasn't a secret from Bruce) he is ridiculously resourceful, as he took his pay and invested to the point where when he passed away, he left Nightwing an inheritance in the *billions*. Alfred anything but a butler.
So you forgot all the masters that Bruce learned those skills from travelling around the world. Masters like Richard dragon, Ted Grant, Max Dodge, Don Miguel, Krigi, Sumi Tomo, Chin Li, Sergei Alexandrov, The Ten Eyed Brotherhood, Henry DeCard, David Cain, Sheehan Matsuda, Sho La,Hisan Tan,Willie Dogits,Kingsley,LaSalle,Mark Jenner,Peter Allison,Rafael,Orelis Bach,Webber,Shastri,Bronze Tiger,Chinese opera, Fredrick stone, lady Shiva. Etc are Batman's teachers.
@@Dante_Ranzetovich only way I can see this being “sarcasm” is if you said it in a way that’s like, “Omg! Bruce Wayne is Batman?! What a shocker!”. but given the way you typed it out, it seemed more like a genuine question than sarcasm. however, I’ll believe your words and give you the benefit of the doubt for this one
He pulls a Dempsey roll transitions to a Tyson roll then finished with a Pacquiao roll. He weaves an 8 vertically then goes towards and does it low horizontally and vertically then does it low high with a counter that he's riding on but it's not an uppercut. Dempsey was a phone booth brawler, Tyson was a more of a hook/uppercut movement angle guy. Pacquiao was was either constantly attacking or counter dipping in and out of range and typically rising on counters.
Thug: You're not batman Alfred: Indeed. I'm worse, I'm a World War 2 veteran. Back then, we didn't care about what we had to do to get the job done, and I still don't
@@raixira27nice comment, one of my favorite scenes in that film. Here is my version of your comment. Bane: "I was Born in it, Molded by it..." Alfred: I molded It..."
Not to mention that he apparently punches hard enough to send a grown man into the air, and across the room. Though this is the same guy who head-butted Superman, and broke his nose, so no surprise.
@@LapizRex i mean to be fair its gotham, if someone got lit up in wayne manor he could probably call up a couple cleaners from the mob and make it real easy, the cave on the otherhand thatd all him
“Perhaps you relied on my masters vow against using lethal force. Let me assure you you that I subscribe to no such niceties.” Alfred was in the SIS. He doesn’t mess around.
Batman refuses to kill because he's just as mentally damaged as the people he puts in Arkham, _and he knows it._ He is rightly afraid of what he might become if he were to let his guard down toward himself. Alfred is about as mentally healthy as it's possible to be when you're Batman's butler, and he's ex-military. Dude has NO problems killing if the situation comes to it.
@@Blazieth Completely wrong. He's not "afraid of what he might become". He does not kill people because he represents an ideal, true strength is *integrity* even in the face of overwhelming opposition. Killing only pushes the problem back, someone else will rise up in the power vacuum. Batman being the symbol of vengeance is not only a reminder that crime doesn't pay, but also a reminder that there's another way. He wishes for criminals to understand not just that they're wrong, but that they can change, and Batman's proof that he is correct comes from his impossible victories during conflict. Relevant quotes from other media: "Direct action is not always the best way. It is a far greater victory to make another see through your eyes than to close theirs forever." "You must understand. I did not wish (them) dead. Defeated... perhaps. I merely wished them to see that they and their teachings were wrong." "A culture's teachings, and most importantly, the nature of its people, achieve definition in conflict. They find themselves… or find themselves lacking."
@@Nezxmi That's all well and good... except Batman has directly, in multiple mediums, directly stated that he believes if he starts killing, he will never stop. A clear statement of fear of what he will become if he allows himself to kill.
@@Blazieth No. You're talking about Under the Red Hood, one comic that has an adapted movie so it's just one source, and he says "It'd be too damn easy.. If I do that, I go down into that place.. I'll never come back." He never says he will keep killing, he's saying he knows he is more than capable of doing it but that such a thing would traumatize him. Bruce admits that not killing is a conscious decision and he's taking accountability for allowing Jason to die, saying "For my own good, I couldn't do it." You're entirely ignoring the context of that quote by saying Bruce is admitting to being mentally damaged, he's saying he didn't do it to AVOID being mentally damaged... But to prove my point, refer to "Legends of the Dark Knight Annual #1" (1991) The entire story is about Batman going through a spiritual journey where he's being put in situations where we're told there's no way to win but to protect a green bag dubbed his "burden" and to also kill his enemies ranging from demons from hell, a vampiric woman, 40's gangsters, and Nazi zombies led by Hitler. Batman protects his "burden" but finds a way to win without killing every time. He even saves one of the criminals, and say believes that letting someone die is the same as killing them. In the end he is wounded and dragging a wounded Joker, in a green bag, through snowy mountains when Joker asks: "Will you do it? Kill me? Release the burden that torments both of us? Batman: "No. Oh, I WANT to -- I've never wanted anything so much. But I won't. Because if I did, I'd be violating the belief that has sustained me all these years. *I believe in the absolute sacredness of human life. I may not believe in anything else.* There's more. If I did as you ask, I'd be no better than my enemies -- I'd be the insane avenger that people are certain I already am." Joker: "How disgustingly noble of you." Batman: "Noble? No I won't claim that. Because there's a final reason -- and it's not the least *bit* noble. I refuse to give you the satisfaction of seeing me fail. That makes you absolutely miserable, doesn't it?" Narrator: "Soon there will be warmth and comfort. He will rest, as even he must. Later, he will assume his burden again, and drag it on into the years..." TLDR; Joker is symbolic of the green bag that Batman must protect throughout his spiritual journey, because Joker too is a human life, bad people are still human. Batman's first and foremost reason for not killing is his belief in the ABSOLUTE sacredness of human life, and that belief is what has sustained him throughout hard times. Without that belief he'd be a broken man, not a psychopathic killer, though he'd believe himself to be no better than a psychopathic killer because Bruce holds himself to incredibly high standards and sees killing as a line that cannot be un-crossed, you're on one side or the other.
Alfred is batmans only hope and last contingency plan should he be unable to control himself when he betrays the justice league that and there’s fail safe but his step father and butler is his real plan.
@@dnegel9546 Right?!? Pressing him with that jab and keeping those hands tucked while slowly advancing and looking for a counter punch opportunity and then WHAM just...damn. Alfred is scary.
In most continuities, Alfred is a former MI6 agent, as well as in EVERY continuity, being a good son of England. It stands to reason he knows how to fight and would gladly use Queensbury boxing rules to do so.
I remember in the injustice comic Alfred took the medicine that gives people the strength to stand against Superman. Within a single page he beats Supes ass so hard he knocked him out left him bleeding on the floor and literally curb stomped Supes face so hard his shoes exploded.
Alfred was apparantly an ex military and in Injustice got super powers and gave Superman a beating to the point he probably could've killed him if he wanted to
@@dirceusantos7308 Only Injustice Superman. Earth 0 Superman on the other hands Knows Kryptonian Martial arts like Torquasm Rao and Torquasm Vo. Even Batman and Wonder Woman Respects Earth 0 Superman's Combat Skills.
@@TheSuperboy_Primeyes they are, he can only throw punches, most of the time he relies on his powers, you know, super durability, super strength or superspeed for example Most of the time his opponent is way weaker than him so he doesn't need to be skilled
