Minus the robot, this was pretty much my reaction to reading this on Twitter.
@BenAffleck Congratulations! If you need an Alfred let me know! ;-)

Seriously though, William, they wouldn't even let you be in the reboots of Star Trek , what makes you think this would happen? Okay maybe that was too mean, but in all honesty what about the Shat man even remotely resembles Alfred? For starters Alfred is slender, something Shatner hasn't been since the '60s. Secondly, no. I just don't see it, and I never would see it. In fact, casting William Shatner as Alfred would be tantamount to a Batman and Robin-level screw up. Am I overreacting? I don't think so.
