okay but the absolute aura of Alfred Pennyworth putting on his special ops operator voice and ordering Bruce to make it home when he’s injured on a solo patrol? he’s the servant, he’s the one who calls Bruce sir, but in that moment, he’s the drill sergeant in Bruce’s ear. he’s the one calling the shots. he is uncompromising.
“Get to the Cave. That’s an order.”
and for some reason, that desperate final attempt to motivate a bleeding, semi-conscious Batman works.
