The world of Batman has focused on many eccentric characters, from Gotham's many colorful supervillains to Bruce Wayne's Robin sidekicks. However, since 1943, Batman has been accompanied by his loyal and loving butler, Alfred Pennyworth. As much as many may see Alfred as Bruce's surrogate father figure, a Silver Age story cast him as his old friend's unlikely enemy. The era was known for absurd stories, and the butler's fall to evil is one of the best examples of cartoonish villainy in all of comics.
