Wow, I just looked up the clip cause it's been so long since I watched that scene and WTF even is that anecdote. Colonizer like, "We tried to bribe this guy into being a comprador and he didn't go for it??? Guess he wants to watch the world burn. He is forcing me to do this. Lights forest on fire."

It also adds a weird dimension to Alfred's character that raises a lot of questions. Was he working for British intelligence back then? Why would he go from that to being a butler for some billionaire?

Was he working for British intelligence back then?

In most iterations, yes. Afred is almost always an ex-British intelligence agent.

Why would he go from that to being a butler for some billionaire?

Working for billionaires -> Working for the billionaire (the richest one).

Tbf, I wouldn't be surprised if he was working for the Waynes to keep tabs on them in behalf of the British intelligence. Afred also knew how to get Batman's gadgets from other markets without getting government attention, which is sus af.

Huh, I guess I never paid much attention to Batman lore. That certainly adds a creepier angle to it, if Alfred is there to keep tabs or even to subtly influence what they're doing with their wealth.
