10Gotham City is the sister city of Metropolis across the bay, and it is considered one of the most dangerous and criminally corrupt cities in the world. However, there are folks like the Wayne family, companies like Wayne Enterprises, the Gotham City Police Department, and other civilians that make Gotham City shine even through the darkest of nights.

22[[caption-width-right:300:''"Even you've got too old to die young. Not for lack of trying."'']]
23!!! '''Species:''' Human
24!!!'''Citizenship:''' American
25!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' Wayne Enterprises
26!!! '''Played by:''' Creator/JeremyIrons
27!!! '''Dubbed by:''' Germán Fabregat (Latin-American Spanish) | Tetsuo Kanao (Japanese) | Bernard Tiphaine (European French) | Jacques Lavallée (Canadian French)
28!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' | ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'' | ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'' | ''ComicBook/TheFlashTheFastestManAlive'' | ''Film/{{The Flash|2023}}''

30->''"That's how it starts. The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men... cruel."''
31
32Bruce Wayne's loyal attendant.
33----
34* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The most slick looking middle-aged-to-elder live action version of the character to date (the Alfred from ''Series/{{Pennyworth}}'' is also good looking, albeit much younger). It helps that in many versions the character is balding while this one has good amount of hair on his head.
35* AdaptationalBadass: This version of Alfred is much more hands-on than his predecessors, helping Bruce build, improve and repair his suits and a number of his gadgets, and operating the Batwing. [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/batman-v-superman-pics-reveal-alfreds-role-batmans-hi-tech-cowl In fact]], this version takes after the version in ''ComicBook/BatmanEarthOne'' in that he was originally a bodyguard for the Waynes, not their butler as in other versions.
36* AdaptationalJobChange: As mentioned above, he goes the ''Earth One'' route of being a former bodyguard to the Waynes, not their butler.
37* AgeLift: Jeremy Irons is the right age to play Alfred when Bruce is starting his career as Batman, but in the context of the movie, he could almost pass for an older brother, which is supported by the flashback to Thomas and Martha's funeral depicting him in his mid 20s-early 30s while Bruce was 9.
38* AlternateSelf: Has five confirmed in TheMultiverse: one on [[Characters/ArrowverseBatFamily Earth-Prime]], one on [[Characters/Titans2018OtherCharacters Earth-9]], one on [[Characters/Batman1966Heroes Earth-66]], one on [[Characters/BatmanFilmSeriesBatFamily Earth-89]][[note]]This Alfred would replace him in the Altered Timeline[[/note]] and one on [[Series/BirdsOfPrey2002 Earth-203]].
39* BritsLoveTea: He's Batman's well-mannered British butler. As one would expect, he's quite fond of tea and even gives Diana pointers on how to prepare it.
40* CassandraTruth: He's the only one willing and able to tell Bruce that Superman isn't the real enemy and is ignored for the entire film. Batman manages to realize it before he himself does any permanent damage but he still ended up as an UnwittingPawn of Luthor with devastating consequences.
41* CessationOfExistence: In ''The Flash'', Barry's interference with the past causes his universe to converge into [[Film/BatmanFilmSeries Earth-89]], causing the Alfred of that world to supplant this one. Since the alternate Alfred is deceased, it means his existence was completely erased.
42* CoolOldGuy: In his later years but still highly intelligent and capable and a great source of friendship and guidance for Bruce and other heroes.
43* DeadpanSnarker: Easily the snarkiest live-action Alfred to date. He is a gold mine of sarcasms, especially when he sees his master taking a very wrong path in life.
44* DoubleTake: Does one in ''Zack Snyder's Justice League'' when Bruce brings the rest of the league to the Batcave.
45* GadgeteerGenius: He and Bruce built the Batcave. He also helped Bruce conceive and build the vehicles, powered armor and gadgets and is shown maintaining/repairing them. In ''Zack Snyder's Justice League'', he even manages to reverse-engineer Kryptonian tech to create energy-absorbing gauntlets for his master, which comes in handy against Parademon blaster fire [[spoiler:and even Superman's EyeBeams.]]
46* IgnoredExpert: He knows exactly how foolish, dangerous and self-destructive Bruce's mission against Superman is and tells him such but is ignored.
47* IWantGrandkids: Even if he isn't Batman's real father, as a ParentalSubstitute, he does want Batman to eventually retire, find love and keep the Wayne family going. He seems to have accepted that this will never happen.
48-->'''Alfred:''' Go upstairs and socialize. Some young lady from Metropolis will make you honest. Uh uh, ''In your dreams, Alfred''..." ''([[INeedAFreakingDrink drinks]])''
49* TheJeeves: Has been described as Bruce Wayne's loyal butler, best friend, and mentor. Interestingly enough, his role is compared more to a bodyguard than a servant in order to keep in line with the AdaptationalBadass treatment of the character.
50* MeaningfulName: He is a loyal servant to the Waynes for decades, so he's definitely worth whatever the sum of his salary is.
51* MissionControl: He helps control the Batwing which gives reconnaissance info, which he then feeds to Batman, and remote-controls it when Batman has to jump in the field.
52* MrFixit: He maintains and repairs Bruce's equipment and vehicles.
53* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Even though he disagrees with Batman, he is too loyal to walk away from him, and reluctantly helps him in his plan to kill Superman.
54* OldRetainer: He is in service of the Wayne family since at least the birth of Bruce.
55* OlderAndWiser: He truly is a voice of reason to Bruce during the whole of ''Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice'', especially when it comes to assessing if Superman is a real threat or not. But Bruce wants none of it and moves forward with his plan to kill the Man of Steel.
56* OnlySaneMan: He regularly tries to keep Bruce from going off the deep end in ''Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice''. Unfortunately, his wise advice is ignored for most of the film.
57* ParentalSubstitute: He is one of sorts for Bruce since the death of his parents, what with IWantGrandKids above.
58* PermaStubble: He's a bit more unkempt than previous portrayals, occasionally sporting a few days of stubble.
59* RetiredBadass: WordOfGod says he's originally a SAS special forces soldier, then bodyguard for the Wayne family during his youth. In his elder years, he clearly now serves Bruce as a butler, MissionControl and MrFixit.
60* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Introduced to the DCEU in its second film entry.
61* ServileSnarker: As ever, he doesn't hesitate to speak his mind around Master Bruce.
62-->'''Alfred:''' Even you've grown too old to die young; though ''not'' for lack of ''trying''.
63* SharpDressedMan: Most versions of Alfred show him wearing traditional butler attire, but this version of Alfred's shown to have an eye for sophisticated suits and dress coats.
64* ShipperOnDeck: By ''Justice League'', he is a mild shipper of Bruce/Diana because she's the only woman that he regularly spends time with, and he thinks Bruce is interested in more than her "skill set".
65* SilverFox: His hair is graying, but he still benefits from the undeniable suavity of Jeremy Irons.
66* {{Squee}}: Alfred reacts with shock at the Flying Fox's arrival at Wayne Lake after his and Bruce's failures to get it operational. He did not until that point realize that Cyborg had revived it and flew it there until it arrived.
67-->'''Cyborg:''' It wanted to fly.
68* StoicSpectacles: This version of Alfred sports eye wear.
69* TallDarkAndSnarky: Stands 6'2 and is [[TropeCodifier one of the most well-known]] {{Servile Snarker}}s in media.
70* TookALevelInCheerfulness: By the time of ''Zack Snyder's Justice League'', Alfred is visibly giddy every time the energy-dissipating gauntlets that he built for Batman work. Throughout the movie, he's in a much more chipper mood than he was in ''Batman v Superman'', at one point happily humming to himself while he poured himself a glass of whiskey, and even teaching Diana/Wonder Woman the proper way to make tea.
71* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: He assists Batman at distance from the Batcave, giving him reconnaissance information and the like.
72* WaistcoatOfStyle: Instead of the usual butler garb, this iteration of Alfred is usually seen in a waistcoat.

91Bruce Wayne's father. He was murdered by Joe Chill in 1981 along with his wife Martha.
92----
93* AdaptationalBadass: The moment the mugger pulls a gun on he and Martha, Thomas goes out swinging and right after he has been shot.
94* AlternateSelf: Like his wife, all his counterparts in [[Characters/ArrowverseOtherEarths the multiverse]] were killed when Bruce was a child. His [[Characters/BatmanFilmSeriesBatFamily Earth-89 counterpart]] would replace him in [[Film/TheFlash2023 the Altered Timeline]].
95* BadassInANiceSuit: He tries to stop their mugger wearing his tux. He didn't stop him, but having balls to even try deserves a credit.
96* DeathByOriginStory: Murdered by a mugger in front of a young Bruce, ultimately inspiring his war on crime as Batman.
97* DiesWideOpen: The last thing he sees before dying is Martha's corpse giving a blank stare.

99* ManlyFacialHair: Thomas sports a prominent mustache, and is macho enough to take a bullet for his wife and son.
100* PapaWolf: Along with his [[MamaBear wife]], both of them actively resist the mugger to protect young Bruce.

115
116Bruce Wayne's mother. She was murdered by Joe Chill in 1981 along with her husband Thomas.
117----
118* AdaptationalBadass: Martha's last mortal act is to protect her son by wrestling the gun out of the mugger's hand. Needless to say, it doesn't save her.
119* AlternateSelf: Like her husband, all her counterparts in [[Characters/ArrowverseOtherEarths the multiverse]] were killed when Bruce was a child. Martha's [[Characters/BatmanFilmSeriesBatFamily Earth-89 counterpart]] would replace her in [[Film/TheFlash2023 the Altered Timeline]].

124* MamaBear: Along with her [[PapaWolf husband]], she actively resists the mugger to protect young Bruce.
125* NervesOfSteel: She'd just seen her husband get shot and knew she was going to be next, but she takes the mugger's bullet in the hopes it would protect her son.
126* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Both Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne have mothers named "Martha", [[spoiler:the surprise from finding this out and Lois Lane rushing in to tell him it's the name of Clark's mother prevent Bruce from delivering a killing blow to Clark with the kryptonite spear. It also makes him realize he was about to kill someone's beloved child, and [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim that would have made him no better than the man who killed his parents]].]]
127* PosthumousCharacter: Long dead by the present-day of ''Batman v Superman''.
128* PrettyInMink: She was killed wearing her fur coat.
129* RavenHairIvorySkin: As expected of Lauren Cohan.

146* EarlyBirdCameo: A Wayne Enterprises logo can be seen in ''Film/ManOfSteel'' on [[http://i.imgur.com/hB5K18C.jpg the satellite that gets wrecked by Zod and Superman in space]], although it should be noted it's the Wayne logo from ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy''. The company formally appeared in the DC Extended Universe in the next film, ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', with a new logo design.
147* FamilyBusiness: The company is owned by the Wayne family since its creation by hunters/pelts traders in the early 19th century.
148* MegaCorp: The leading company in Gotham City and one of the biggest in the country, with such diversified activities as aerospace, technologies, chemicals, finances (with a branch in Metropolis most notably), food, shipping, steel and philanthropy. Not as huge and powerful as [=LexCorp=], but still sizeable and, in the end, more ethical. Wayne Enterprises is also established worldwide in countries such as France, as shown in ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'' when a Wayne-branded security truck delivers the original 1918 group photo to Diana Prince at the Louvre museum in Paris.

202* TheCommissionerGordon: The character is the TropeNamer. He is Batman's chief ally at the GCPD.
203* DeadpanSnarker: He's not afraid to snark at Batman, what with the "It's good to see you playing well with others again" remark.
204-->''"You were right Ma - Police academy? What's wrong with dental school?"''
205* OlderAndWiser: He wisely points out to the younger Detective Crispus Allen that Batman has never kidnapped anyone in twenty years of crimefighting[[note]]He was introduced in the first film having broken up a human trafficking ring that two cops witnessed[[/note]] when the former starts suspecting the bat vigilante since people who witnessed the kidnappings in Metropolis and Gotham city described the kidnappers as "vampires" and "giant bats" (those were Parademons actually).
206* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The incorruptible police commissioner of Gotham City, and a trustworthy ally of the Justice League who doesn't believe for one second that Batman is behind the kidnappings.

208* UnfazedEveryman: When he goes to the roof to meet Batman, he has no reaction when Batman shows up in the company of an amazon and a speedster. When Cyborg shows up, Barry is slightly freaked out, still no reaction from Gordon.

223
224Commissioner Gordon's aide, working on a case involving multiple kidnappings in Gotham City and Metropolis. It doesn't take long for Allen to suspect [[RedHerring Batman]] given the way people describe the kidnappers as "giant bats" (Parademons, actually) but Gordon quickly and wisely dismisses this.
225----
226* AbledInTheAdaptation: The comics Allen is shown wearing glasses. Here, much like in ''Series/{{Gotham}}'', this Allen doesn't.
227* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: Well, there's the fact he 'has'' hair on his head. The comics version of Crispus Allen is bald with a goatee, whereas this one is the inverse, with a head full of hair and clean-shaven.
228* MrExposition: Provides informations about several kidnappings in Metropolis and Gotham City to Jim Gordon, pointing out that all of the abducted people work for S.T.A.R. labs and were kidnapped by creatures witnesses described as "flying vampires" or "giant bats with huge fangs", and that a child who was too scared to talk drew one. Wonder Woman identifies them as Parademons when Gordon meets the Justice League.
229* MythologyGag: Crispus Allen is a prominent character in the ''ComicBook/GothamCentral'' comics, in which he works for the Major Crimes Unit to solve kidnapping cases.

249* GloryHound: He stole Montoya's credit for a bust in the past, years old allowing him to rise to the rank of Captain. He continued to do so, [[spoiler:after Sionis had been killed]].
250* PoliceAreUseless: Montoya is the only one at the GCPD to figure out what's going on with Roman Sionis, and the only one to step in action against him, whereas her boss just dismisses her investigations.
251* TokenGoodCop: She's got a sharp eye for crime scene clues and an honorable drive to protect the city, but her fellow cops are prone to either ignore her deductions or, if they do produce results, take all the credit for her accomplishments. Ultimately [[spoiler:Renee comes to realize that she will never achieve justice or [[DudeWheresMyRespect earn respect]] at the GCPD and quits the force, joining with her newfound vigilante friends to create the Birds of Prey]].

320The beloved 11 year old daughter of Floyd Lawton (a.k.a. Deadshot).
321----
322* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Series/{{Arrow}} Earth-Prime]].
323* DaddysGirl: Deadshot really loves her, and she loves him back, most [[TearJerker heartbreakingly]] seen when Batman comes to arrest him in front of her.
324* HeroicBystander: She decides to [[HumanShield put herself between Batman and her dad]] so no shot will be fired and no one will be hurt.
325* HumanShield: She stands directly between Deadshot and Batman to prevent her father from firing his gun.
326* InnocentBystander: She's walking with her father when Batman ambushes him.
327* MissingMom: Deadshot divorced from his wife. Zoe's mother is [[TheGhost mentioned but never seen]] in ''Suicide Squad''.
328* MoralityPet: To Deadshot. While he may not like it, he'll always do the right thing as long as she's around.
329* NiceGirl: She's good at school, she has seemingly no bratty traits and she loves her dad despite his [[ProfessionalKiller profession]]. She's remarkably well-adjusted considering she's basically had to raise herself.
330* ParentalIssues: Her mother told her that her dad is a ProfessionalKiller, she was confronting him about this just before Batman showed up to arrest him. The mother's not much better though: staying in bed all day and going out at night [[ParentalNeglect instead of taking care of her daughter]].
331* RaceLift: She is mixed Caucasian/Hispanic in the comics. Here, she's black just like her similarly race lifted father.
332* TeenGenius: She's very good at school. [[EvilParentsWantGoodKids Deadshot wants to keep this going]], even insisting to have her go to one of the UsefulNotes/IvyLeague universities as part of his conditions to join Task Force X. He even asks to "white-people that thing" in case she gets bad grades.

400A Nairomian woman who's interviewed by Senator June Finch as a witness of the massacre that happened in her native country at the beginning of ''Batman v Superman'', and blames Superman for it at both the senate subcommittee and in the media. The Extended Cut reveals that she has settled in Gotham City [[spoiler:and that she has been blackmailed by Lex Luthor into falsely testifying against Superman.]]
401----
402* {{Blackmail}}: [[spoiler:Lex Luthor blackmails her into falsely testifying against Superman for the massacre committed by Anatoli Knyazev and his PrivateMilitaryContractors, threatening to kill her parents.]]
403* {{Bulungi}}: She comes from the fictional African desert nation of Nairomi. The name is most likely inspired by Nairobi, the capital and largest city of Kenya.
404* DoomedHometown: The PrivateMilitaryContractors led by Anatoli Knyazev kill all the men of her village (which was also warchief/terrorist Amajagh's base) and burn it down, including the corpses. Since Superman showed up on the site, she travels to the USA and accuses him publicly.
405* MustMakeAmends: In the Ultimate Edition cut, [[spoiler:she decides to tell the truth to Senator Finch. Which basically signs her death warrant.]]
406* SheKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:After Kahina reveals the truth to Senator Finch, Knyazev kills her by shoving her on the way of an incoming train in the subway, tying up one loose end for Luthor.]]

420!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Birds of Prey|2020}}''
421
422A male spotted hyena that Harley Quinn adopts after breaking up with the Joker. She purchased him from a back-alley animal dealer, who soon ended up being fed to him.
423----
424* AdaptationNameChange: Harley's hyena pets first appeared (like Harley) in the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse, and they are named Bud and Lou in it (as a ShoutOut to Creator/AbbottAndCostello). Here, the animal is named "Bruce".
425* AllAnimalsAreDogs: An extreme example. Really, you could replace any scene with him with a large, aggressive dog without changing anything else. On top of this, a German shepherd was used as MotionCapture stand-in for the hyena's special effects (and also because [[invoked]][[NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals genuine domesticated hyenas can be a nightmare to work with]] in RealLife).
426* AngryGuardDog: Not strictly speaking a dog, but very protective of Harley and Cassandra.
427* CanineCompanion: Harley adopts the animal in order to not feel too lonely after breaking up with the Joker, and treats him just like an ordinary dog as opposed to the hyena that he is (hyenas are more closely related to cats than dogs).
428* CompositeCharacter: Harley originally had two hyenas as pets in the source material. They've been blended into one here due to CGI budget constraints.
429* DisneyDeath: Seemingly gets killed when Harley's apartment is attacked with a bomb after she's been ratted out by the Chinese street food shopkeeper she rents it to... then at the end it turns out the animal just wandered in Chinatown and Harley is reunited with it.
430* DramaticIrony: Harley named him after "that hunky Wayne guy", aka Batman.
431* HeinousHyena: Averted. Other than eating the slimy (and possibly abusive) pet owner Harley took him from, he's pretty friendly, and after his "death" we later find out he was just wandering through Gotham for days and didn't hurt anyone (as far as we know).
432* RightHandAttackDog: Bruce is relatively calm and friendly for an apex predator, but his first act as Harley's pet is to ''eat'' the animal dealer after the man asks Harley for sexual favors.
433* SerkisFolk: An odd case - a German Shepherd was filmed as a stand-in for him on set and a CGI hyena was digitally superimposed over the dog's motions. It's because the film's crew found out that [[invoked]][[NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals hyenas are extremely difficult to tame and work with]].
434* SpaghettiKiss: Harley shares a twizzler with him, in ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' fashion.
435* UncertainDoom: In ''The Suicide Squad'' Harley implies that the Joker killed him out of spite. Since she's recently been arrested, it can be assumed Bruce is on his own and might not be equipped to survive the mean streets of Gotham even if he wasn't killed.
436* UnusualPetsForUnusualPeople: While Harley is offered slightly more normal options, she picks a spotted hyena as her new pet.
437* WeNamedTheMonkeyJack: Harley named the hyena "Bruce" after [[Characters/DCEUBatman "that hunky Wayne guy"]], oblivious to the fact that she's crushing on her enemy.

449A cornerstore chef who makes egg sandwiches which Harley Quinn loves to eat.
450----
451* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: After spending the early part of the movie killing and maiming anyone in sight, Harley treats Sal with utmost courtesy purely because she loves his sandwiches.
452* {{Foil}}: To Doc, who also makes fast food that Harley eats. Sal does Western food, while Doc does Asian food. Sal's cooking is considered so good Harley has to remind him to go easy on the hot sauce, while Doc's requires extra chili because Harley can't stand his cooking. Sal doesn't mind when Harley is short a few cents, while Doc [[spoiler: sold Harley out]].
453* GreasySpoon: Works for an establishment with this vibe, and the breakfast sandwiches he makes fit the kind of menu items found at these places.
454* NiceGuy: He gets on well with Harley and doesn't complain when she short-changes him.
455* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: Harley doesn't bother mentioning his full name in her narration.
456* SupremeChef: Harley sees him as one. Of course, this is highly questionable, since she flat out states he uses expired cheese and sometimes, his arm hair gets in.
457* TheVoiceless: Doesn't appear onscreen long enough to let out more than a cheerful tongue-click.

472A street food restaurant owner Harley Quinn rents an apartment to.
473----
474* BrokenPedestal: Harley was genuinely friendly to him and thought she could trust him, but it turns out he ratted her out to Sionis' {{bounty hunter}}s for money to open a new, more prestigious restaurant. She's quite broken by this.
475* CrankyLandlord: Surprisingly averted. He has no beef with Harley, but he still rats her out for money.
476* EveryManHasHisPrice: Harley thought she could trust him, but the prospect of opening a new restaurant far from the hellhole his current one is situated in was stronger and he ratted her out.
477* KarmaHoudini: Sells out Harley to Sionis, and is unpunished for his actions.
478* LethalChef: Downplayed. According to Harley, his Mongolian beef dish tastes so bad that it needs extra-hot sauce to be a tolerable meal. It becomes a BrickJoke with Huntress, but we never find out from her or anyone else if it actually tastes that horrible. And this is Harley Quinn we're talking about; earlier on in the movie, it's established that her TrademarkFavoriteFood is an egg-and-cheese sandwich that often comes with ''expired cheese and the cook's strands of hair''.
479* NothingPersonal: After he sells Harley out, he tells her that it was "just business" before leaving.
480* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: Like with Sal, Harley doesn't bother mentioning his full name in her narration. It's even harder to guess his name, because at least "Sal" is usually the diminutive of "Salvatore", whereas "Doc" is not a diminutive.
