Alfred Pennyworth – Guns Don't Kill Parents, People Kill Parents?

In the most recent issue of The Batman's Grave by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, Alfred Pennyworth has to face an intruder into Wayne Manor. One heart-eating Mister Stirk. And Alfred without a Batarang to his name. That's okay, he manages to produce a far older gadget used for fighting crime – or, indeed, committing it.

And a few more times just to be sure. When questioned on his choices, given Bruce Wayne's big issue with guns, and giving us his very best David Niven, Alfred Pennyworth goes all National Rifle Association on us.

Guns don't kill Batman's parents. People kill Batman's parents. The Batman's Grave #11 will be published in a couple of weeks.
