Makes a few of the scenes is Rises all the more heart wrenching (I may have blubbed in the cinema during Alfred's resignation). Alfred Pennyworth, you deserve a medal or a knighthood!

Probably off topic, but fun fact about Christian Bale: Despite having played New Yorkers (knowing how Gotham is basically New York), he’s actually Welsh. It may say that he’s English when you look him up, but he’s Welsh.

"Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up" Amazing quote I've loved. My interpretation of it (which can be different to yours) is that you WILL make mistakes, you are not perfect, but if you see and acknowledge your failures you can grow and become better. How you start is not important, it's how you end.

[@fabulousmyriad267]

Slight nit pick: Thomas Wayne made the "why do we fall ?"quote to a young Bruce Wayne. Alfred as his pseudo father is the only person who can repeat it.

[@sunnygogna5097]

Yes! You’ve interpreted perfectly.

" Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn." - Alfred

One of Sir Michael's best lines ever

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

This entire trilogy have all the best castings they could possible do for these characters, from the magnificent Morgan Freeman and Lucius Fox, the legendary Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon, to Sir Michael Caine impossible to beat Alfred Pennyworth....there is just so many amazing quotes, scenes and incredible performances in this trilogy that will be impossible for any Batman film in the future to beat this 3 films.

Tbh! I can’t understand what the heck went wrong after this trilogy for Batman Franchise… they had and still could’ve outdone Marvel big time but no they had to ruin it all. This trilogy is the best thing happen to DC universe 🥰

Sends shivers down the spine

[@Desencadenar]

The entire saga trilogy is loaded with brilliant casting choices. Caine was epic. These lines, and the entire monologues they come from. I love how he refers to their mistakes as "trying to outsmart the truth." Showing the folly in it, and that he understands he's made his own. And of course, the "watch the world burn" quote is a piece of history by now. From an amazing monologue. It was heart-breaking, that he had to spend time thinking Bruce was dead. To watch Alfred suffer like that, after so much dedication. Fortunately, for us that bitterness only lasts a few moments. He gets his wish fulfilled. He knows Bruce is now finally moving on to a better life, after doing so much for others. Batman wouldn't be half the powerhouse he is, without Alfred by his side. Wise, steadfast.

Does anyone think otherwise? Nolan's Alfred is the most fleshed-out cinematic Alfred we've ever seen. He was the central emotional pillar with some of the best lines in the whole trilogy. Caine was set up to succeed with this, but he not only succeeded, he gave us the most iconic Alfred ever.

[@Allexstrasza]

Its not the lines that made him the best, its his delivery.

[@sebastianmartellisr.3587]

What made him the absolute best wasn't just his Masterful Acting, but the fact that he served in Combat for the 1st Fusiliers in Korea which left him with some mental scarring on how easily Communist China and North Korea would throw away Lives as if their soldiers were nothing but scraps off of their plates. His "World Burning" Speech was literally genuine as his Beliefs were from personal experience

No they wouldn't, lmfao. You can say all you want about China, but their red army from the revolution onwards was a scrappy, resilient, and highly effective fighting force that gave Westerners hell to deal with.

Jeremy Irons is a pretty good Alfred, but he doesn’t compare to Caine

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

Its sad, because I really think Jeremy Irons could do an amazing Alfred, the little we got from him was excellent, but sadly under the awful hands of Goyer and Snyder, it was impossible for him to equal this amazing performance of Sir Michael Caine.....I wonder if Nolan would have directing him as Alfred how different things would have been.

[@dariushcreates]

The thing is we had no emotional connection with Irons Alfred and Bruce. Just them arguing. Looked as if he was a politician or chief of police and not someone who did not care for him since he was a little boy
