People hardly ever age in standard comics once they reach a certain age. I've been saying this for a while. Batman has been around for about seventy years. When Dick Grayson joined as Robin he was a rather young boy. Now he's grown into a full man (who messes around with other girls). Tim Drake came next as Robin. Again a young boy who is now a teenager. All this time, Bruce hasn't really aged a day. It always seems that once in comics you reach about early to mid thirties you stop aging.
While I do agree that Alfred is a lot more of an interesting character then Jarvis. I disagree with Babs that Alfred isn't a butler. Of course he's the butler of Wayne Manor, but he is also family.
"Money....Honey"????
I like the Jarvis in the movie. It further isolated Tony and shows how little he has in the way of emotional connections around him. It plays up just how important Pepper is to him.
I'm glad you shared this. It was quite funny. I had no idea Babs was so "giggly". Easily amused as well.
" Correct me if I'm wrong, but during the One More Day storyline, did i seem like Jarvis had feelings for Aunt May? "That was actually first seen when Parker joined the New Avengers.
I always liked Jarvis better than Alfred. Both are important characters to each book, but Jarvis seems like he has more on his plate. While Alfred has to clean up after Batman and whatever Robin is running around the team, Jarvis has been looking after an entire team of superheroes. I remember in Avengers Disassembled, one of the SHIELD agents were treating Jarvis poorly and Cap said something like, "That man is an Avenger. You'll talk to him as if he was me."
On another note, Jarvis wasn't always a butler. He fought in WWII in the Royal Air Force.

MI6. Babs, G-Man, you are EPIC :D I couldn't stop laughing.
Alfred is a really deep character. Some writers have portrayed him brillantly. Winnick in Batman #687, for example. When I read that issue, he almost brought me to tears. Besides, he does manage a whole team of superheroes, The Outsiders. It's really interesting to see him in his many roles: butler, father figure, tutor, leader.

Alfred owns in every conceivable way. Jarvis has just been around long enoughh that he is calm and collected when villains crash the mansion. Alfred beats the hell oout of ninjas until his arthritis kicks in.
babs is right. Alfred is James Bond born into a family of butlers. Jarvis is just... British.
"JARVIS in the movie was just a super step into the present since now Pepper had the JARVIS program in her suit. I do think that Alfred seems more intresting than Jarvis, but Jarvis is a more emotional character. I just bought the Avengers: Dissasembled trade and there was a scene where Jarvis tries to clean the already destroyed mansion... His response was that it was habit! So Alfred is awesome while Jarvis is emotional, case closed! Babs was laughing! :) "I agree with this, I personally like AI JARVIS better then normal Jarvis, I hope we'll see more of the AI in Invincible Iron Man, but like you said with Dissasembled, I have those issues and I see where Jarivs is a fun character, like when one of the soldiers begins to treat Jarvis like a nobody and then Cap tells him that Jarvis is as much of an Avenger as him and should be treated as so, that was great.
Alfred became a secret agent... Oh Em Gess... the Bull Dc makes is hilarious...
hes still jus a butler to me...
(on my world.)
Oh my!!!!
I wish you guys would review a new comic like American Vampire, Green Hornet, killing shakespear, something different...
" @geraldthesloth: really? "From what i've read from them yes, I'm not the biggest batman fan though.
I understand why Jarvis was turned into a computer program in the movies, Batman Begins and Dark Knight came out and they didn't want a rich businessman who becomes a superhero and has a bulter to look too much like they were ripping off the Batman films, even though they werent.
But at least he was in the movie in some form. Rick Jones has been cut out of the movies completely.
Funny though, Jarvis is more of a real Butler to me too than Alfred. Alfred is like sort of a Butler but more like a secret agent posing as a butler.
