imagine being Alfred. ur rich employers die and now you are left with this traumatized 12 year old. You take him home. You make him hot cocoa. You put him to bed. It has been a long day, who knows what your future even entails. You finally are able to get some sleep and then boom the short shit 12 year old opens your door. You think, "ok maybe he wants to sleep in my bed" or "maybe he needs a shoulder to cry on" but no. He stares into your soul. "I'm making them pay." He says. "All of them. And you're going to help me." Then he closes the door.
So yeah. I think I get why Alfred was so happy Bruce was getting court mandated therapy. Like that was the funniest scene of this show thus far.
