ALFRED GETS AN ADVENTURE Posted: 052217
We learned in the last issue of All Star Batman that the villain behind the events of the Ends of the Earth arc was Ra’s al Ghul. The next arc will give us the back story of Alfred Pennyworth, the first man to aid Batman. Ends showed a new way in which Ra’s will fight Batman; by challenging the idea of truth and fiction since Batman never looks at his own mortality and finds solutions to things he doesn’t have when he takes on someone. The Alfred arc, The First Ally will have him in Miami and finally reveal why Alfred joined MI6 and why he ended up leaving. The arc will be villain heavy and lead into Dark Days, which will set up the future of Duke Thomas. The initial plan was to create a new role for Duke in All-Star but the editors told Scott Snyder he needed to expand his story. The First Ally story arch began in All Star Batman #10.
