Born and raised in England, Alfred Pennyworth followed in his mother's footsteps as a theater actor instead of becoming a butler for the Wayne Family in Gotham City like his father and grandfather before him. Pennyworth later entered the British military. After quitting the service, Pennyworth became engaged with younger woman only to find out she cheated on him. When his father passed away, Alfred decided to fulfill his father's obligation and became family butler to Thomas and Martha Wayne, just as their son Bruce was born.
When Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered, Pennyworth raised Bruce. Pennyworth did his best to prevent Bruce from falling into the darkness of guilt over his parents' deaths and acted as a surrogate father. He shared in Wayne's desire for justice and willingly went along with Wayne's plan. Pennyworth covers for him when the world needs Batman, helps maintain the Bat Cave, and is a constant source of advice and inspiration.
After receiving a security alert, Pennyworth armed himself with a shotgun and investigated a breach in one of the fortifications hiding the Batcave, a high voltage fence in the sewers. He was relieved when he discovered it was only Superman and Batman. Pennyworth used his medical expertise to extract Metallo's Kryptonite bullet from Superman's chest and suited him up.
