10 Things We Know So Far About Pennyworth

The Pennyworth TV show will give an origin for the most badass butler, Batman’s Alfred in June. Here are 10 things we know about the DC Comics show.

There’s no end to the rich Batman universe, which has a seemingly endless supply of tangential plots from which we could extract spin-offs and reboots until the end of time. If you’re a fan, this is extremely exciting to think about, especially when you consider the upcoming Pennyworth TV show. Bob Kane and Bill Finger’s drama is set to be unveiled this June, so we’ll have to wait until then to find out what the show will truly be like.

We do know that the show will be based on the beloved DC characters we know and love, particularly Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne’s beloved butler. The show will obviously have to include new faces, given its setting in 1960s London, but we do know a few of the characters we’ll get to know during the program’s first season. We also know a few other key details.

2 Characters Confirmed And 10 We Want To See In The Matt Reeves Batman Movies

10 Alfred’s Identity

The two form a security company, which may be where Wayne learned to trust Alfred. Jack Bannon of the film The Imitation Game and TV shows like The Loch, Endeavor and Medici will be portraying Alfred in his younger years.

9 It’s A Prequel

That’s not to say that the show will feature any actual comic arcs. On the contrary, it’s only been announced that the show will be based on characters from the DC universe and not plots, so we will likely see a bunch of brand new stories as well as nods to what we already know.

8 At Least Two Villains Have Been Cast

We know of at least two villains in Pennyworth. One of them, Lord Harwood, will be played by X-Men: First Class’s Jason Flemyng, whom we’ve also seen in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Stardust and other films. The other, Bet Sykes, is set to be played by Paloma Faith. Fans of The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus might remember her as Sally, but she’s better known as the award-winning English singer and songwriter of UK top 10 singles like “Can’t Rely on You” and “Only Love Can Hurt Like This.”

Neither of these characters are canon from the pages of DC–yet. Who knows, maybe they will be written into the comic books if the show goes well.

7 Polly Walker Is In It

There is speculation about the character being the sort who toes the line between good and evil, as well as being someone whom Alfred might consider an ally at times. It’s a popular theme in the Batman universe, used in women like Catwoman and Fish Mooney, so it would make sense to appear in this show, too.

6 Ben Aldridge Is Thomas Wayne

Wayne is “square, disciplined and punctilious,” and extremely polite, although he also has an imperious air. He definitely does not go by Tom Wayne, as his friends are even known to refer to him as Thomas.

5 Lord Harwood Is A Refined Baddie

It almost sounds like a Lex Luthor type of nemesis, except he’s super British. It’s possible that Harwood could be a gang leader type of character, too, which would mean some colorful goons and plenty of Alfred learning how to kick some butt on the job.

4 Bet Sykes Is A Sadist

She’s also described as “wonderfully wicked” and “dark,” so hopefully she’ll give us the kind of villain that we’ll all love to hate. We look forward to hearing what kind of quick quips she’ll come up with, too.

3 It’s From The Same Team Who Brought Us Gotham

This isn’t a stretch, given that both shows are meant to be of the darker, more comic vibe, and both are prequels set in the same DC universe. The time difference, as well as the location of the show, will make it more interesting when comparing the two.

2 Wayne And Pennyworth Meet At A Nightclub

Previous versions of Pennyworth have been played by everyone from Jeremy Irons to Michael Caine. Michael Gough, Alan Napier and Sean Pertwee have also portrayed the character. Given how young he is, and given that the show takes place in post-war London, this will be a new, youthful version we haven’t seen yet.

1 There Are 10 Confirmed Episodes

It also seems normal for a company like Warner Horizon Scripted Television, which also released 10 episodes of Krypton, another DC prequel, on Syfy last year. Episode titles have yet to be released, but each episode will be one hour long.
