I think Alfred is a 10-year-old boy trapped in the body of a 200-year-old man.
Okay, but seriously, I keep seeing Alfred as one of those stuffy old farts who refuse to let a petty thing like old age prevent him from going into a pine box.
Maybe Alfred was borrowed from the Addaams Family? He was replaced by Lurch when Alfred decided to take advantage of his Freedom 55 package. Then, when retirement got too boring, he got back into the butler business and that's how he came to run Wayne Manor.

I think that Alfred might seen ageless is because some of you are thinkin of the Alfred in Batman series from the WB. The Alfred in the movies seems old. The Alfred in the comic books looks ageless because he is a healthy, and appears to be in normal shape.
The animated series was largely influenced by the movies. Alfred in the comics looks like Alfred in the cartoon, but with dark hair. Because Michael Gough was so wretchedly old (but not any less an Alfred), they compromised in the series and made Alfred's hair grey/white.
Absolutely. Alfred, as well as everyone else on that show was taken right from the comics of the current and the previous decade. Alfred was a bumbling detective wannabe who eventually knew Batgirl's identity when the Dynamic Duo didn't. It was a horrid presentation of Batman, but completely faithful for the times. People shouldn't dis the show for what it was, but they shouldn't let it significantly influence future movies or other media.
My old thread. 😍
I'm just bumping this thread because I think I'd figure Alfred's age. If I'm correct he has a daughter which is about 40 years old. So I'm thinking she was conceived somewhere around the 60's. That means he was prolly somwhere around 24 years old when his daughter was born. So, I'm taking a blind shot at this....
..Alfred must be 64 year old. So I'm guessing that in his early 30's he began working for Thomas Wayne. And at the age of 35 he looked after a young Bruce.......Hmmm, what do you guys think?
