    Alfred has appeared the most frequently with Batman even more than Robin or Nightwing but he never or rarely got his own story arc. I'm not saying I want a comic book titled Alfred but it's getting kinda strange that he never got his own arc despite the numerous times he's appeared in the comics.

    I totally agree with you. He needs his own story arc. But also I think he most likely NOT get his own arc. He's never been appreciated enough.

    I think the only time he was the center of things was with the one-shot of Nightwing "The return of Alfred" or something like that

    hey hold up

    how cool would it be if Alfred had kept a journal? I mean they could very easily play off the story line where Alfred had worked for MI-6 as a younger man (Like they depicted in an old TAS episode)...That would be so awesome....

    Just a thought

    That was the idea in the original script for a Bruce Wayne tv series. All the episodes were narrated by Alfred but the show never got off the ground thanks to the movie division of WB>.
