SANTOS, BATMAN!

The Batman TV series of the sixties, we see the British actor Alan Napier, playing the role of the faithful steward who knows the secret identities of their masters.
Many know that his presence made that character was resurrected dead in comics.
But in the golden era of American comics, the original Alfred was an obese subject, bald and clean-shaven.

In 1.943, as soon Alfred bulky as had appeared in the stories of Batman, a serial about Batman and it was the actor who represented William Alfred Austen was a thin man.
There was an editorial decision to alter the appearance of the character to be more like the film actor of the serial.
Butler was sent to a health center where he lost a huge amount of weight in CARTOONS OF DETECTIVE # 83 and returned so thin that even Batman & Robin at first I ignored them.

Despite having survived the negative campaign against the cartoons of the fifties, the editor Julius Schwartz (to take over the universe of Batman) maintained a certain distrust of two men and a child-teen living alone in the house.
then planned to get rid of Alfred and that was effective CARTOONS OF DETECTIVE # 328, the character was crushed by a boulder (which must fall on the dynamic duo) in the process of saving the lives of their masters.
In the end we see that makes its appearance Aunt Harriet to Dick Grayson as a replacement of the faithful servant.

Although this was done to protect cartoons bat man's allegations to be promoting homosexuality, Schwartz and his people did not notice the look "Why is Dick's aunt NOW? "Just heard that Brucie is filthy rich and want a share of the fortune? Why she took over Dick instantly become an orphan? "She should be presented as a new servant, a relative of Wayne but not as a relative of Grayson.

Two years later, at the time of assembling the cast of the television series, will start testing the actors Lyle Waggoner and Adam West for a new TV series Batman and his dialogues related to Aunt Harriet as "our housekeeper, Mrs. Cooper."

Upon hearing this, one notices that the producers are still determined to mention it as an aunt of Dick Grayson.

Madge Blake was the actress who played the mother figure for children who would be "Batman."
While Alfred is not mentioned in the film evidence, it is unlikely that producers are hesitant to bring a third man to Napier house and was the first actor to be hired for the role.

Finally as we all know, decided to use the characters of Alfred and Aunt Harriet on TV.
This meant that in National / DC had to find a way back to life to the dead butler.
A renegade scientist discovered that Alfred was in a coma and not dead in the tomb, using his invention to regenerate human cells, revives Alfred but be transmuted into a vile that it becomes an enemy of the dynamic duo calling themselves "Outsider "(Stranger) Bats is clear that after a cure for his servant, a job for the scientist and Harriet are maintained in the story, happy ending.
When things cooled, as the popularity of the TV series, the editorial sac kicks to Aunt Harriet's mansion and continuity. Alfred

remained and even today is considered a fundamental element in the history of the Crusader endless overcast.
