Warner Bros.If you ask most people what their highlights of Batman v Superman were, they'll no doubt leap to Ben Affleck's new, hulking Batman as their number one. But as many people who praise Affleck will also no doubt pinpoint Jeremy Irons' sardonic, booze-soaked new Alfred as another big selling point. Gone is the constantly wet-eyed mother figure of Nolan's trilogy, and the pleasant, slightly doddering man-servant of the Burton/Schumacher era to be replaced by an acerbic, sarcastic military partner who seems to just want Bruce Wayne to get laid. It was odd, but it was hilarious and an entirely welcome antidote to Michael Caine's performance in The Dark Knight Rises.
