While Batman is almost always the center of attention when it comes to the Caped Crusader's story (as well as the villains), Alfred Pennyworth (Batman/Bruce Wayne's butler and father figure) is a large part of the superhero's success. However, aside from his loyal services to the Dark Knight, Alfred's past has never been depicted on film or TV. Pennyworth is a series worth watching because it depicts a young Alfred, who's a skilled soldier, a tough fighter, and a man with plenty of guilt.
