14. Alfred Pennyworth
If youre looking for the greatest, most smart-mouthed butler in all of modern fiction, look no further than Alfred Pennyworth in the comics. If youre after an over-emotional man-servant whose main purpose seems to be to deliver pick-me-up one-liners whenever Bruce Wayne is feeling blue, Michael Caines Alfred will do fine. Caine is a phenomenal performer, no arguments there. Im just not sure his character was used to its fullest potential throughout Nolans Batman franchise. I mean how could he have been? With so much going on from The Dark Knight onwards, theres little surprise that minor characters such as Alfred, who are so peripheral yet still so important in the make-up of Batman, have been glossed over in such a saccharine manner.
