4. His Best Friend Is A Butler
The truth is that Alfred is a godsend for both Batman and Bruce Wayne. He cares for his every need, he gives him emotional support and he's always there to talk sense in him when he needs it. Alfred is the perfect best friend, but there is just one problem....he's a butler. Sure having a best friend is all well and good but make no mistake about it when you're ordering him to grill you up some swordfish at 4 am....that butler is pissed. It's a fine line you walk when you become friends with someone who you employ. One second they feel great because they are close to you and the next second they feel violated because you have asked them to do some sort of dirty deed. Poor Batman. All he truly wants is a friend but he also wants his orange juice squeezed fresh every single morning. He wants NO PULP that's right NO PULP and make no mistake about it, orders like that piss Alfred off. He just doesn't show it.
