In the exclusive clip below from the Season 2 finale of Epix's Batman prequel series,
Pennyworth, the titular character (played by Jack Bannon doing a top-notch Michael Caine impersonation) offers to ingest Project Stormcloud and chase it down with a flask of alcohol before it can reach critical mass and devestate all of London. The man's bravery is beyond words, especially when a young Lucius Fox (Simon Manyonda) warns Alfred about the potential side effect of swallowing an object of mass destruction.
"Lucius Fox is the Q to Batman's James Bond," Manyonda told
Comic Book Resources last month. "And I suppose in this show, the James Bond character really is Alfred Pennyworth, so as it goes on, maybe Lucius might start making gadgets for Alfred to make him more efficient, as a sort of process. So then you get that 007 kind of vibe, except more detailed because of course with Q, he just comes in and does his bit, and then you never see him again. But, in this case, Lucius gets to go on the whole caper and, more importantly, use his own inventions to outwit the bad guys."
