Alfred Pennyworth has been the butler to the Wayne family for pretty much forever. Hard-working, long-suffering and utterly loyal, he sees it as his responsibility not just to keep Wayne Manor and the Batcave clean and tidy, but also to look after his employer’s well-being…even when Batman doesn’t necessarily agree. He has in many ways been a father figure to Batman and he cooks an amazing lobster thermidor.

Bat-Fact: In fact, worth a lot more than a penny.

    Batman has always battled alone against the forces of injustice and evil, but now he’s suddenly got a kid sidekick to deal with. Where Batman is silent, serious and brooding, Robin is loud, enthusiastic and constantly bursting with excitement at getting to work with his favorite Super Hero and new dad. Only time will tell whether he proves himself to be a boy blunder or a true Boy Wonder!

Bat-Fact: When not fighting crime, Robin practices groovy dance moves.

    Although she’s new to being a Super Hero, Batgirl is every bit Batman’s equal as a crime-fighter. They may disagree about the rules and methods, but Barbara Gordon’s experience as a police officer and her desire to protect Gotham City make her the perfect partner when things get tough and villains are on the rise. She might even have a few things to teach the Dark Knight about busting bad guys!

Bat-Fact: Has been known to take out the villains before Batman can even park the Batmobile.

    Selina Kyle uses her stealth, whip and acrobatic cat-burglar skills to commit purr-fect crimes as the super-villainess Catwoman, robbing Gotham City’s museums and high-rises of their rarest and most valuable treasures. Cross her path and it’ll mean bad luck for you – unless you’re Batman, whose heroic heart this felonious feline would love to steal.

Bat-Fact: Not really much of a dog person.

    The Laughing Lunatic. The Clown Prince of Crime. Batman’s greatest enemy. That’s how The Joker sees himself. With his white skin, green hair and constant grin, this villain has made it his life’s goal to cure Gotham City’s all-so-serious grimness and gloom. He might break the law, but he really just wants to make people smile…and to rule the city…and to get Batman to finally admit that he is his greatest enemy. Is that too much for a super-villain to ask?

Bat-Fact: Never laughs at Harley Quinn’s jokes.

    Mirthful, mischievous and just a little bit malevolent, Harley Quinn is The Joker’s number one sidekick/hench-person/fan. She’s endlessly loyal to her beloved Puddin’, making her the only one in all of Gotham City that he can fully count on to help with his sinisterly silly schemes. And if Harley can cause enough of a distraction for Batman that The Joker can get away? That’s all the better!
