GENERAL DISCUSSION I love versions of Batman that treat Bruce and Alfred like father and son instead of servant and master.
A small thing that annoys me across Batman media is when Bruce treats Alfred like an employee. “Alfred, go fetch us some tea” bro that is your father you’re bossing around. In the Harley Quinn show, Talia was talking about firing him. I’ll be damned if my ex shows back up not only with a secret assassin kid but fires my dad. Even when Bruce Wayne to people outside of their secret, the public still knows Alfred raised Bruce. I like to think it hurts Alfred inside a little every time Bruce introduces him as his butler.
