Premise[edit]
Pennyworth explores the early life of the titular Wayne family butler, Alfred Pennyworth, a former
British SAS soldier who is forming his own security company in an alternate universe in which Hitler
and Nazi Germany won World War II,[4] and in which London combines aspects of the 1950s and
1960s with invented events and practices, such as a modern civil war and televised public
executions.
Alfred becomes a target of the Raven Society, a group conspiring to take over the British
government, and begins working against them alongside American agents of the No Name
League, Thomas Wayne and Martha Kane, the future parents of Bruce Wayne.[5]
