Initially, Alfred discovered their identities by accident while fighting a burglar in Batman #16 (Alfred's first appearance), he accidentally hit a switch and opened a sliding panel leading to the Batcave. The surname "Beagle" was explicitly used for Alfred starting in 1945 and on the introduction of "Pennyworth" this is treated as having always been their name by retcon.)
(The name "Pennyworth" was first used for Alfred in 1969, and thereafter it has been assumed that his father was named Jarvis Pennyworth as it is customary for British domestic servants to be called by surname it might have been implied on Alfred's introduction that Jarvis was the surname he shared with his father. Although the pair did not want one, especially since they did not want to jeopardize their secret identities with a servant in the house, they did not have the heart to reject Alfred. To that end, Alfred introduced himself to Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson at Wayne Manor and insisted on becoming their butler. The Pre- Crisis comics (the comics that were published by DC Comics between 19) established Alfred as a retired actor and intelligence agent who followed the deathbed wish of his dying father (identified only as "Jarvis") to carry on the tradition of serving the Wayne family.
In later years, the comedic aspects of the character were downplayed. The stories followed a simple formula, with Alfred solving a crime and catching the culprits entirely by accident. He was given a four-page feature of his own, "The Adventures of Alfred", in Batman #22 (April–May 1944) and the feature lasted 13 issues, skipping Batman #35, with the last story in Batman #36. In most early tales, he made bungling attempts to be a detective on a par with the young masters. Alfred (later named Pennyworth) in his first appearance ever, as an overweight, bumbling detectiveĪlfred was originally conceived as a comedic foil for Batman and Robin he spoke with a Cockney accent, and simply arrived on Wayne Manor's doorstep to announce that he was beginning his duties. This look has remained with the character ever since, even surviving his apparent "death" and resurrection. DC editors wanted the comic Alfred to resemble his cinematic counterpart, so in Detective Comics #83 (January 1944), Alfred vacationed at a health resort, where he slimmed down and grew a mustache.
LEGO ALFRED PENNYWORTH SERIAL
In Alfred's first appearance, he was overweight and clean-shaven however, when the 1943 Batman serial was released, William Austin, the actor who played Alfred, was trim and sported a thin moustache. Evidence suggests that Alfred was created by the writers of the 1943 Batman serial-Victor McLeod, Leslie Swabacker, and Harry Fraser-and that DC Comics asked Don Cameron to write the first Alfred story, which was published prior to the serial's release. The character first appeared in Batman #16 (April 1943), by writer Don Cameron and artist Bob Kane.

Bane killed Alfred in 2019 during the City of Bane storyline, and he remains dead as of 2023. A vital part of the Batman mythos, Alfred was nominated for the Wizard Fan Award for Favorite Supporting Male Character in 1994. He serves as Bruce's moral anchor while providing comic relief with his sardonic and cynical attitude. As a classically trained British butler and an ex- Special Operations Executive operative of honor and ethics with connections within the intelligence community, he has been called "Batman's batman". Pennyworth is depicted as Bruce Wayne's loyal and tireless butler, legal guardian, best friend, aide-de-camp, and surrogate father figure following the murders of Thomas and Martha Wayne.
