"R.I.P. Alfred"

Michael Gough, who played Alfred the Butler in the Batman movies in the 90's, died Thursday at age 94. Unfortunately, this means he won't get to see Batman finally marry Robin.

He moves on to eternal paradise, which, for Mr. Gough, means never again having to tolerate another joke about waxing the Bat-pole.

Director Joel Schumacher is being sought for questioning. Though there is no evidence of foul play in the case of Mr. Gough's death, years ago, Schumacher single-handedly killed the Batman franchise.
