10 Video Game Characters Fans LOVE (That You Never See)
8. Alfred Pennyworth - Batman Arkham City
Some could argue that Batman and Alfred are as iconic a duo as Batman and Robin. The butler of the world’s greatest detective is a beloved DC Comics character, and his video game counterpart in the Arkham series enjoys a similar reputation, even though he doesn’t even appear in the first two games.
The short interactions between Alfred and Batman in Arkham City somehow manage to capture the magic of the comic book character without making him appear on-screen. Alfred only communicates with Bruce through calls but each conversation brings out his best qualities.
When he’s not helping Bruce coordinate his mission, he gives him advice and ensures he doesn’t overstrain himself. He even sends him a couple of gadgets of his volition when he realizes his master might need some extra help.
His actions are not just examples of excellent butler work but also an authentic representation of how Alfred behaves in the comics. That’s why the fans of the Arkham series are usually fond of him and cherish every fleeting moment he enters the proverbial picture.
