I think it was an alias used by Egghead or something.

Incidentally, every time I see that clip, it annoys me that he knocks the computer print out card off the chalkboard and doesn't bother to pick it up.

I guess he just leaves it for Alfred.

I thought you were talking about Felix Unger and I didn’t remember a computer card in that scene. When you mentioned Alfred I went “Oh yeah!”

It's really pretty amazing that he manages to take care of Wayne Manor all by himself, with no other staff.

I'm sure he says that it's to protect the work that Wayne and Grayson do. He doesn't mind picking up after them, because their minds or on more important things. Alfred cries himself to sleep every night.

He doesn't mind working alone. He's always felt like an Outsider.

It's pretty weird that Batman would name his super-team after the evil alter-ego of his Butler/Substitute Father-Figure.

And I wouldn't doubt for a second that it was a deliberate in-joke on the part of Batman & the Outsiders creator Mike W. Barr. He's super-knowledgeable about 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s Batman continuity.


Still "Fickles" to my friends.

Bruce is a right git.

"I'm just going out with the Outsiders, Alfred. Oh so sorry, more bad memories brought to the surface."

"I've decided to fight crime with an Outsider as my new partner. No, don't get that hopeful look Alfred. You'll always be my servant. I meant Katana."

Superman's super-dickery is boosted by his powers. But Batman has his wealth!

Surely it's Batman, when Grayson wore the cowl.

"A man’s name is not like a mantle, which merely hangs about him, and which one perchance may safely twitch and pull, but a perfectly fitting garment, which like the skin has grown over and over him, at which one cannot rake and scrape without injuring the man himself."

Sue: Look Reed! The street is collapsing into a giant pit!
Reed: Yes, it is clearly a endless chasm leading to a hidden realm beneath the Earth!
Sue: So...not subsidence then?
Johnny: I shall fly down to investigate!
Ben: I shall quit the team!
Sue: Wait Ben! Something else is emerging from the depths!
Villain: It is I... Mantle! No More Shall I Dwell Beneath The Crust Of This World!
