Alfred Pennyworth (Earth-8998)

"You are as precious to me as you were to your own mother and father. You are my son, Bruce. I swore to them that I would protect you, and I haven't. I never wanted you to come back to New York. I always knew there was nothing for you here, except pain and tragedy. And I wanted something more for you than that. I still do. Until the end of my life."
