In the original Batman comics, Alfred didn’t raise Batman after his parents were killed; it was actually Bruce’s uncle, who was a wealthy aristocrat. Alfred joined the Batman cast years later, after Dick Grayson/Robin first appeared.

For a Batman TV show, what if this actually happens: Bruce’s parents are killed, he lives with his uncle, then leaves at 18 and comes back five years later. His uncle hires Alfred Pennyworth as the Wayne Manor house manager, and he’s 10 years older than Bruce. So instead of a father/son dynamic, it’s more of a brotherly or best-friend type of relationship.

Now, if you aren’t a Batman fan, you might not care—but this question is mainly for Batman fans: would you want to see something like this?

Warner Bros. Animation, DC Studios, and Warner Home Entertainment will bring “Batman: Knightfall” to France’s Annecy Animation Festival. The feature film, helmed by WB Animation veteran director Jeff Wamester (“Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths”), is described as “the first installment of a multi-part animated event bringing to life one of the most iconic and beloved runs in the rich history of Batman comics.”

No doubt this Part One will have animation buffs and Batman fans alike queuing for this very coveted world premiere, as the fan-favorite caped crusader is pushed to his mental and physical breaking point by a mysterious behemoth called Bane. This could be a big announcement depending where “Batman: Nightfall” leads. Many of recent animated “Batman” titles have ended up on Prime Video.

As June’s Annecy Festival draws nearer, “Batman: Nightfall” forms part of the global animation event’s first special screening events, unveiling new tributes to legacy characters, legendary animators and globally acclaimed anime franchises.

Absolute Batman is finally here, and he's absolutely in no mood to mess around. Absolutely nobody saw this coming as absolute Robin is absolutely confused as absolutely no one told him about the absolute universe's new rules, such as the absolutely terrifying new absolute villains such as absolute Two-Face, absolute Mr. Freeze, and absolute Crazy Quilt who's absolutely insane. Absolute

Clark and Lois are always on Jon's ass and never leave him alone. Everyone bugs him: Clark, Lois, Jordan, and Candice. It's like Jon couldn't be blessed with a family that would leave him alone.

Batman doesn't have to deal with this bullshit, and I think Batman would pity Jon.

I haven’t been keeping up on this. What’s the temperature in the room? Looks really fun to me.
