Or Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth, in full
The trailer for the new Batman spinoff about Bruce Wayne’s butler/manservant/possible secret masseuse, Pennyworth, is here.
And it is trying very, very hard to be British. Here are a couple of lines:
“If everything goes pear-shaped, I’ll do my best to keep you alive.”
and
“As a rule, if you have to use French words for something, I don’t like it.”
and
“I don’t like violence… and I don’t like you, mate.”
… Yeah. Have a watch though! It’s probably not as bad as those lines make it sound!
