Now, since the studio is silent on any updates regarding the movie, fans have shared their thoughts on some characters involved.

Movie News Guide has published a theory involving the real role of Alfred, Bruce Wayne's butler,, in Bruce's life. One of their ideas is that Alfred is the father of Bruce Wayne. This originated with the loyalty of Alfred to his master and that both of them trusts their lives to each other.

Their theory originated with Alfred and Martha Wayne having an affair that led to Bruce's birth. They kept it secret and after the death of Bruce's parents, Alfred stood beside Bruce, becoming his guardian and pseudo parent to raise him as his own. Many has seen the loyalty of Alfred to Bruce and brushed it off as his sworn duty to the Wayne family but with the theory ongoing, the loyalty of Alfred maybe seen as being a father figure.

On the other hand, GamenGuide revealed another theory ongoing involving a Wayne brother. In their theory, the Wayne brother is an older sibling of Bruce Wayne who was institutionalized as a kid. The kid was eventually abandoned by the parents and was taken to the Court of Owls, who trained assassins.
