Alfred Pennyworth is Bruce Wayne's butler for 40 years. He promptly put Batman and Commissioner Gordon to bed during their slumber party, turned off the lights in the Batcave, and left. Batman and Gordon continued and watched TV then got into a pillow fight. Pennyworth investigated but they pretended to be asleep. He closed the door. They fought again. He checked again and they were asleep. This continued a few more times, even with Batman sleeping in his bag upside down. Pennyworth became frustrated and left. The Joker and Penguin joined the party later into the night. Penguin fell into the Batcave. Pennyworth checked and saw Batman and Gordon asleep. After a close inspection, he left and the party continued. He later caught them while Gordon did an impression of Two-Face at 11:15 pm. He called up Mrs. Gordon to take her son home then took the remote away from Batman.
During a tour of Wayne Manor, the Titans noticed Alfred Pennyworth was following them. They mistook him as a businessman late for his meeting. Robin couldn't convince them otherwise and dismissed him for the day to go to his meeting. Pennyworth put on a hat, got out his suitcase, and left. Pennyworth returned in the evening and was enraged to see it being sacked by Catwoman, Penguin, Joker, Riddler, and Poison Ivy. He tossed a silver plate into Riddler's head, drank tea and let Penguin run into his fist, threw the tea cup into Catwoman's eye, smacked Joker with a brush, then sprayed, wiped then kicked Ivy's face. The Titans declared Robin was right that money was just a vice but he disagreed. He cited it was thanks to money that the butler saved the day and if you were rich, there were no consequences for your terrible actions. He rang a bell and asked Pennyworth to clean everything up before Batman came home. He drop kicked Robin.
Batman returned to the Batcave one night and was about to start watching television but Alfred Pennyworth, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman appeared and threw him a suprise birthday party. Batman gave it a thumb's up and went back to watching television. Superman was hurt. As Pennyworth readied the birthday cake, Superman tried to take Batman's remote away. He ended up destroying it with heat vision. Batman pulled another remote from his Bat Remotes pouch on the utility belt. Superman lifted the couch up and placed it near the others. He tried to feed Batman cake in vain. Batman pulled out a bat-shaped console and continued watching television. Superman flew away crying. Pennyworth slapped the remote away then pointed to Superman. Batman groaned then consoled him. Superman revealed his Super Suprise Plan to throw Batman a party to become his Best Friend Forever. Batman fired a grapnel into the bathroom. Wonder Woman punched through the door and pulled Batman outside to open presents.
Batman didn't like anything. Superman presented a tall present and revealed Commissioner Gordon was in it. Gordon presented a golden remote then Superman showed off Batman's new giant multi-screened HD television. They all sat and enjoyed themselves. Except Pennyworth, who didn't quite get what was so funny. Pennyworth took Batman and Gordon on a camping trip but they just wanted to watch TV. He took the remote away and put a miniature telescope in Batman's eye. While Pennyworth set up the sleeping bags, Batman stole the remote back out of his back pocket with the grapnel gun. Pennyworth bashed the TV with a bat, swept up the pieces, put it in the campfire logs then lit it on fire and tossed the dust pan in. He noticed a new TV and Catwoman. He threw a boot at her head then threw the TV into the lake with the remote then gave Batman and Gordon fishing poles. Pennyworth caught a fish but Catwoman stole it. He chased after her with a rolled up newspaper into a cave. They ran into a bear and fled the cave. Batman saved them and befriended the bear using pretzels and a belly rub. Batman summoned bats to bring a new TV and they all settled down to watch Secrets of Eternity's ending.
While he slept during an opera, Robin dreamed about using Batman's utility belt in the Batcave. After he wrecked everything and gave the belt back to Batman, Pennyworth was left to clean everything up. Pennyworth took the Batmobile to go grocery shopping. Gordon and Batman hung out in the latter's bedroom and watched TV. Pennyworth answered the Batphone and learned of an emergency. Once Batman realized Pennyworth was back, he kicked the TV and pushed Gordon away. Gordon hid under the bed. Batman refused the phone and pretended to be sick. Pennyworth went into panic mode and put a thermometer in his mouth. While he checked his medical kit, Batman used a blow torch on the thermometer. It read 500 degrees and exploded. Pennyworth did a quick check then put a cold compress on his head then left to make soup. Once Pennyworth left, they jumped through the glass window and left in the Batplane. They were seen at a football game on TV by Pennyworth while he cooked in the kitchen. He became enraged and drove to the field in the Batmobile.
Bane tapped Gordon's shoulder and informed them of the butler. Gordon slapped Batman and apprised him. Batman grabbed Gordon and fired a grapnel line. They returned to the Batplane and hurried back to Wayne Manor. They crashed the jet, ran across the Wayne Manor property, and hopped off a trampoline back into the master bedroom just in time. Gordon hid and Batman pretended to be asleep. Pennyworth drove up to his room and sighed in relief then reversed out. To Batman's dismay, Alfred Pennyworth returned to the Batcave in the Batmobile only to take him to a Stuff Mart to go shopping. Pennyworth pushed Batman around in a cart. While he stepped away for a tea sample, Batman was elated to see Commissioner Gordon hiding in a ball pit. They hid from Pennyworth in a clothes round handrail and watched TV on a Batarang. They checked if the coast was clear then sneaked into a dressing room. Pennyworth's whistle could be heard. They hid in one of the dressing rooms. Pennyworth eventually found them, scared the animals away, split the couch in two with his bare hands, and carried Batman away. A store employee presented the bill for all the damage done to the store. Pennyworth fainted. Gordon handed Batman a remote.
At the Wayne Manor Regency Ball, Pennyworth had the duty of blowing a trumpet and announcing a guest when they arrived. Whatever they wrote down, he had to read it exactly. Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy took advantage of that premise and broke tradition like with Beast Boy writing down he was as "the illest, chillest, never going to get your Phyllis nonstop party train this place about to go insane, super duke, Beast Boy." Beast Boy summoned Pennyworth when he had to use the bathroom. He sighed then walked him to the bathroom and repeated the same announcement. He also served as referee in Robin and Beast Boy's duel. Once Bruce Wayne made his decision, Pennyworth announced the manor would be left to his new bride, the new champion race pheasant Thanksgiving Leftovers. During Wonder Woman's 80th anniversary party, Pennyworth dressed down to boxers and socks and posed in the Batman Art Department.
While housesitting Wayne Manor for Batman, Robin discovered Bruce Wayne's personal toilet was clogged. After he cleared his fellow Titans, Alfred happened to appear to them during a thunderclap. Robin fell back to the typical trope of "the butler did it." Alfred questioned why he would. Robin noticed he was holding an empty fish bowl and speculated he clogged the toilet to cover up another crime, fatally forgetting to fed Batman's pet fish Bat fishy. He hid under a couch just as the Titans arrived and suffered from Raven and Starfire bouncing up and down on it, hid behind a Bruce Wayne bust and narrowly dodged Beast Boy slicing up the bust with a sword, hid behind a curtain accidentally set on fire by candles bumped near it by Beast Boy, and had his left foot repeatedly stomped by Robin as he put out the fire. He limped to the bathroom and flushed Bat fishy but the toilet clogged and overflowed. Pennyworth denied that happened. Batman returned home. Robin blamed Pennyworth and Pennyworth blamed the Titans. Batman used his radar device and forced the toilet to reveal it was Clayface who confessed he faked the clogs to throw off the Titans from suspecting anything.
Sticky Joe ran into a display case in the Batcave and the urn carrying the second Robin's ashes fell on the floor and shattered. Alfred Pennyworth came to check on the noise. Sticky Joe sat at the Batcomputer in a Batsuit. Somehow, Pennyworth fell for the ruse, patted and kissed Joe's forehead, and left. In the Batcave, on the first Wednesday of September, Pennyworth reminded Batman and Gordon it was time to change Catwoman's kitty litter. Rather than do that gross task, they took the Bat Time Machine to the year 3057 and watched TV. Pennyworth followed them but they ran away and encountered their future versions of them who were in a similar bind. The 3057 Batman and Gordon used their minds to mentally project a screen so they could all keep watching TV. Pennyworth appeared between them. They ran away. Batman doubled back and slapped the litter bag of his hands. Pennyworth found them watching TV on a blimp so he popped it. They ran away.
Alfred Pennyworth drove by Batman and Gordon in the Batmobile while on a grocery run. Batman and Gordon pulled him over and decided to have some fun at his expense. They cuffed him to one of their arms and legs each then moved around to manipulate Pennyworth like a puppet then they took him to Gotham City Police Department. They took his fingerprint then Gordon turned it into a turkey. Batman used the ink to draw a cat on Pennyworth's face then made him take a mugshot. They took various mugshots with him, changing his face to resemble Catwoman, Joker, then Two-Face. They took him to an interrogation room both wearing Good Cop caps. Gordon slid him a doughnut with "Confess!" written on it. Batman juggled batons but one landed on his head. Gordon flipped the switch on and off so the light made a strobe effect on Pennyworth. Batman tried to angrily flip a chair but it landed on its feet to his amusement. Gordon reached into his shoulder holster and very slowly pulled out a video tape marked "Evidence." Pennyworth became nervous but it was just a commercial for Starfire's Food Restaurant.
