#alfred pennyworth#is not normal.#Bruce learned it from somewhere right.#reminds me of that one post about alfred being a mean bitch wrt Bruce’s terrible coping mechanisms and being like…#WHOMST are you to talk sir????#‘I’m so sorry I said we should take Bruce to a hospital when he was beaten into unconsciousness and…#…had his back broken and was thrown off a building. i promise I’ll never do it again.’#actually—I very much would like meta about alfred being a terrible father but a good grandfather. which is weirdly a thing? ime?#and as they get older they kinda recontextualize Bruce and Alfred’s relationship and they’re like—#‘holy unhealthy dynamics Batman!!!’#idk maybe it’s just me.#i think also people want there to be a sane one in the batfam?#no they are all unhinged. don’t go looking for ‘the normal one’ you will not find them.#(albeit each one of them thinks they’re the sane one. except Bruce. he’s like ‘DONT PUT THAT EVIL ON ME!’)#comic pages#from knightfall btw#probably got that through context if you made it through the tags but just to put it out there.#meanwhile btw Bruce is in and out of consciousness being like ‘my life is a godawful wasteland of pain and suffering.’#which makes Alfred’s insistence that this would destroy Bruce REAL life even more#hilaribad.
