Alfred sure was nervous when he had to speak to both the caped crusaders & Barbara Gordon on 2 telephones at once and make sure he doesn‘t give away their secrets to each other or he would‘ve been in big trouble.
So could this be the same Alfred that was the footman on Downton Abbey? They're both very tall, the time line of 4 and a half decades makes plenty of sense. Perhaps he gave up his career as a chef , learned proper British diction from Carson , moved to the states and was hired by Bruce Wayne
No "poor Alfred" from me. He betrays his relationship with Bruce/Batman and Dick/Robin whenever he helps Barbara Gordon/Batgirl and by not disclosing her identity to them. It doesn't bother me if he has to sweat a little for it. As for Egghead's plan, it sounds as if it anticipates "Jurassic Park".
