For today’s DC HeroClix: The Dark Knight Rises set preview we shine the spotlight on two men who work behind the scenes to help the Caped Crusader in his never-ending war against crime. First up, please welcome Bruce Wayne’s ever-loyal valet and confidant from both the Batman Begins and The Dark Knight movies, Alfred Pennyworth!

Both look like great figs, and with Lucius, he can stand in as a President and God!

It is great to see Lucius clixed.

way too many 17's for an elderly man, i suppose old man strength is responsible for his ability to deal damage to a character with invulnerability, use him and a robin alone vs. the wrecking crew for the win!?!?....... crimney!

35 points for Perplex and Leadership that can be used to de-token any Bat Ally is excellent, and then follow that with Outwit? Besides, who doesn't want Morgan Freeman clixed?
Alfred looks very solid, with the Defend and Support. I'm not a fan of single-target EE, and the short range doesn't make that better IMO.

Still, very nice figures.

Finally a Morgan freeman clix!!!!!!

Alfred is not even close to worth his cost for what he brings to the table. Lucius, on the other hand, is great. Too bad he can only remove tokens from the movie Batman TA. At least, I assume it has to be that TA. If he can take tokens from the regular Batman TA, then he's fantastic.

Lucius Fox vs. J. Jonah Jameson. Who ya got?

both figs are excellent support. batman teams should make room for the 90pts these two are more than worth
10 attack support
let alone the defend, stealth and perplex (which can make that 11 attack support or can bump the defendee's dv to 18). not to mention the scootch trait which'll help maintain the adjacency this fig demands

Alfred is a bit rich for 55 points, but his "extra move" ability and defend could make him pretty useful for Gotham teams. There's plenty of cops and Robins that will appreciate being boosted to a 17 (that becomes a 19 with CR or ES/D). And 10 attack support has its uses too. He's also not utterly worthless in a fight if knocked onto his back dial. He's not a premier piece, but I can see Batman teams paying for him. He'll also be the cheapest Batman Ally for Wildcard abuse once Brave and the Bold rotates out.

Lucius, on the other hand, is simply an outstanding support piece for any team. Leadership and Perplex into Outwit for 35 points is very nice, and the ability to yank tokens off of Batman, Robin, and Alfred is just gravy. He's no Question, but once Arkahm Asylum rotates out I think he'll be the best low-budget support figure in the game.

Good point, I wonder if WK will make an announcement about this...

Me gusta. That alfred will see a lot of play.

This will be one of my upcoming teams once I get Lucius:


35 Lucius Fox
70 AA038 The Penguin
40 BA007 Penguin
26 CJ022 Penguin
31 CJ023 Penguin
43 CJ024 Penguin
39 CJ208 Oswald Cobblepot
284

March of the Penguins FTW

This is Morgan Freeman as God. That Leadership Perplex combo is God telling Batman what to do. Always remember: "Acts of Repeated Kickass."

check the official team abilities... the old and this are counted as the same.
