whetstonefires posted this interesting take in response to people who claim Alfred Pennyworth from Batman is the most sane or stable member of the Batfamily. Basically, no, Alfred Pennyworth is a lunatic. Here’s why:
This reminds me of Chris Clairemont’s criticism of “Stately Wayne Manor” and Batman is set up so that the writers don’t have to handle side characters.
It is utter nonsense that Alfred can take care of the whole estate without anyone else, and it moreover it kills opportunities for interesting relationships for Bruce.
