Which portrayal of Alfred is better? Jeremy Irons or Michael Caine?

Jeremy Irons would have made a badass Lex Luthor...

Caine "stomps" for now

Caine, although Irons was good. He just needs more films.

Beata

I enjoyed Irons more. But we've seen very little of him in comparison to Caine. If I could vote for both, I would.

Michael Caine

Both great actors but I think Irons suits the role more

I already like Irons more.

Irons

Both played a perfect Alfred, just different versions.

Caine. He did such a great job at being Bruce's emotional support and the one who grounds him

Didn't he leave Bruce in TDKR?

Apples and Oranges in rating awesomeness, sorry can't vote.

Jeremy Irons.

@kairan1979: Yes. He was hoping the shock would jar Bruce into not committing suicide

Michael Gough was an awesome Alfred.

Irons, Caine was just too old.

Irons. I like that he helps with the tech. And drone pilots the Batwing.

Both were pretty great but I think Irons takes it beacuse I really like when Alfred is just constantly taking the piss out of Bruce with his dry wit.

Jeremy Irons though, for the vote.

Caine cried a lot in The Dark Knight rises and whined a lot and then kinda turned his back on Bruce...

Irons was fun, but not enough screen time to be a decisive victor. Stalemate...

Caine stomps... and not just in quantity

Ugh, now I can't stop imagining how cool that might have been. Damn you for this...

Irons because it seemed like he and Bruce were really a team. With Caine it just seemed like Caine had been thrust in the role and it wasn't really clear what exactly he did. It was almost like he was one half of team Alfred along with Morgan Freeman.

Michael Caine by far.

Bump.

They both were good. But i got to give the edge to Michael Cain since he was in three films we got to see his Alfred fleshed out alot more.

cain for me. he felt the most like alfred. irons is amazing but he needs more time to fully flesh out his inner alfred

Irons is too good of an actor to be given such little screen time. Hopefully he gets a lot more in the solo Batman movie.

Irons. But I liked Caine too.

I would like to see Alfred kick some ass, I think the one from Gotham ins very underrated. I like the idea of Alfred being a touch of a bad ass. That said I think I like Irons more as Alfred, but going through the batman movies, and all I dont think there has been a bad alfred all have played the role well

Nothing beats "u trustd me an oi faild u"

Bump.

Alfred had a reason to be in the TDK Trilogy.

If you take out Alfred out of the BvS nothing changes.

So Caine by far.

Tie.

Caine but Irons was great in the role.

Caine but irons was good.

Caine.

Now that there's news of Irons reprising Alfred in JL movies what do you think his role in the film will be? Will he man or supervise the Hall of Justice? Watchtower?

I liked both but I think Irons was a perfect cast for Alfred

@saint_samantha: Why? Even if you did truly like them equally. "Both" would not be a decent answer to the posed question.

Caine but that's only because we didn't get too much of Alfred in BVS. I liked him though especially how hands on he was with helping Bruce. Irons was just in a shitty movie so hopefully its the start of something better.

Cain. Thought thats as classic alfred

Caine but Irons was good too.
