Warner Bros. Pictures has cast Jeremy Irons in the role of Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne's trusted butler and confidante most recently portrayed by Michael Caine in Christopher Nolan's
"The Dark Knight" trilogy.
“As everyone knows, Alfred is Bruce Wayne’s most trusted friend, ally and mentor, a noble guardian and father figure,” Snyder said. “He is an absolutely critical element in the intricate
infrastructure that allows Bruce Wayne to transform himself into Batman. It is an honor to have such an amazingly seasoned and gifted actor as Jeremy taking on the important role of the
man who mentors and guides the guarded and nearly impervious façade that encapsulates Bruce Wayne.”

Irons, who recently appeared in "Beautiful Creatures" (2013) and swung a sword alongside "Batman Begins" star Liam Neeson in "Kingdom of Heaven" (2005), certainly has the aristocratic air
for Alfred... and will probably add his own unique spin on the slyness and gentle humor brought to the character by both Caine and Gough.
Eisenberg and Irons join a cast that includes Henry Cavill (Clark Kent/Superman), Ben Affleck (Bruce Wayne/Batman), Gal Gadot (Diana Prince/Wonder Woman), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Laurence
Fishburne (Perry White), and Diane Lane (Martha Kent).
