Batman: Arkham Legacy - 10 Playable Characters It MUST Include

10. Alfred Pennyworth

Bruce’s loyal and loving Butler, friend, and the closest thing to a Father master Wayne has know since that terrible night in Crime Alley, Alfred Pennyworth is a no-brainer.

Long gone is the era which saw Alfred portrayed as the stuffy old English Butler, fretting over the silverware, as modern writers of comics, TV series’ and Hollywood movies have turned Alfred into a total bad-ass.

Former SAS, expert hand-to-hand combatant, crack-shot with firearms, Alfred is a formidable presence in is own right.

Imagine a scene in which Wayne Manor, in Bruce’s absence, is invaded by a gang of thugs, who do not perceive the middle aged Englishman as a threat.

Taking the famous block/counter/strike combat game play so familiar to Arkham fans and letting us use Alfred during this section would be something entirely; he could even use tea trays and vases as improvised weapons in nod-and-wink in-jokes.

Alternatively, a flashback scene to his days in the British Army, on mission, with over the shoulder shooter game play styled after a Splinter Cell or an Uncharted, would not only be an unexpected change to the tried and tested Arkham formula, but would show just how tough Alfred is while allowing the player to live out their James Bond fantasies.
