Alfred Pennyworth: "Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."

Michael Caine’s performance as Alfred was outstanding, in particular in the “The Dark Knight Rises”.
His characterization of Alfred as not just a butler, but actually more like a foster father, made Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” trilogy the gold standard of comic-book based films.

There's a big difference between being a butler and being Alfred.
Granted, the distinction was lost a little in the 60s TV show, that he was reduced to minor status so that the four-color characters could take center stage.

That didn't appeal to the lauded and prolific Mr. Caine -- until he read the script. saw the check.
