The end of Tom King's Batman run is full of dads, as both Alfred and Thomas Wayne reveal new truths about the Caped Crusader.
This Batman article contains spoilers.
Tom King is all about reflections. He’s the most prominent formalist working in superhero comics today. For him, “how” tells as much of the story as “why” or “what.” So it’s natural that Alfred’s death in his last story arc on Batman proper is a way for King to examine Bruce’s origin. After all, it was the death of his parents that set him down his path to becoming the Bat.
“Yeah, but it was also a way to show what the difference is between Bruce losing his parents when he was young and connected to them, and Bruce losing Alfred having been raised by Alfred,” King says in an interview about this last chapter of Batman.

The core executive team at Pop TV expected to be disappointed, but they still gathered at the CBS-owned cable channel’s Playa Vista offices early Tuesday morning for the reveal of this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards nominations. They were not disappointed.
“Schitt’s Creek,” the quirky comedy series that has punched above its weight for Pop since its 2015 debut, broke into the kudos race with its fifth season in a big way.
