We can’t all be Batman. The world needs more Alfreds.
He can hold his own in a fight.
When the Court of Owls gave Batman a run for his money, things were looking grim for the Dark Knight and his faithful butler. But Alfred is resourceful. Give him a moment of perfect timing and a giant penny, and he can take out a Talon or two.

He's not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Sometimes there are tights to be pressed and exploding gas balls to be put away. Everyone has a part to play, and Alfred plays his to a tee.

In fact, he thrives on getting his hands dirty.
It's what he does. It's all he has. It's an exhausting and thankless job, but without Alfred, Bruce Wayne and Batman would never have made it this far.
He has good taste.
If only Bruce listened to his input every now and then, we could have avoided a lot of embarrassing mistakes, like Batman & Robin.
