Well, Sean Pertwee, in this prequel to Batman, called Gotham, envisages the
Batman character, Alfred the butler, taking on the role of raising an orphaned
Bruce Wayne. The series, Gotham is a fully realized world, as they say, where
the earth of Gotham City is not the earth that we inhabit in this list. No NYC,
but instead, a larger, richer, and far, more, corrupt, Gotham. Think Gotham as
a mix of the modern era, with the criminal activities, of Chicago during
Prohibition, and the drug cartel wars we see in Mexico today. Instead of
costumed villains and heroes, crime bosses are mafia Dons, who own and
blackmail the local mayor, city council, and giant corporations. In this
rendition, Alfred, is not only the butler, but really was the personal security
guy, of Bruce's parents (billionaires) with a military SAS background. The bad
guys like Penguin, Riddler, and Joker, have very modest starts on their climb
to power. The Penguin, as a waiter who becomes a snitch, playing one mafia don,
against another, in his ascent in Gotham. You might like it, depending on mood,
time, interests, etc. More complex characterization and story arc, including
detective Gordon, destined to rise to be police commissioner. High quality
acting and cinematics, too.

In the story I'm thinking of it was Patrick Troughton. No I didn't know about
that particular role, but I have come across Sean in various parts including
Lestrade in "Elementary"
