Gary Oldman talks Michael Caine in The Dark Knight Rises
It was revealed that Alfred and Jim Gordon have an emotional scene together, with Oldman offering some insight into Michael Caine's approach to acting, hinting that the man would rather be playing cricket than playing butler.
Here is what Gary Oldman had to say about working with Michael Caine in The Dark Knight Rises.
"Watching Michael Caine work, as Alfred, was a great lesson for me. Just focus, concentration. He has this emotional scene; I'm kidding you not. It was tears and the whole thing. And it's, 'Take one'. He got it. 'Take 2', got it. 'Take three', got it. He's just on the money. Every single time. It's just extraordinary. You get inspired by it.
He loves cricket. He loves soccer, so he comes to the set and wants to get it done. He doesn't f**k around because he wants to get back to cricket."

Hands down, Michael Caine's "Alfred" is the best representation of Bruce/Batman's right-hand man.

All of us didn't read the news, you might have, but not the rest of us. So keep that stuff to yourself unless you can find a comment relating to the story itself.0

This scene could be where Gordon either FINDS out or ALREADY knows who Batman is.

@ROFLitschristian Arkham City's Alfred was used more for comic relief than anything else. I love Nolan's Alfred because he's portrayed as a wise, father figure to Bruce Wayne. I know what you mean though :)

Caine does a great Alfred. Although, I think I'm more of a fan of that classic Alfred. You know, like the one from Arkham City? Yeah, he's great. :P
