Yep, her off Babestation.

A Batman sequel based on Alfred has just been confirmed!

With Gotham being renewed for it's final season, fans will be happy to hear that they will also be getting a prequel Batman universe series called Pennyworth.

The series will be centred around Bruce Wayne's butler/father-figure, Alfred Pennyworth and will delve into his past and how he came to look after Bruce. Gotham creator and writer, Bruce Heller, is the brains behind Pennyworth but claims the new show won't be related to it in any way. The tale will be told over 10 episodes and it promises to be an interesting and gripping story.

Pennyworth will be put out by Epix and CEO Michael Wright had this to say about it:

As genuine fans of these classic DC characters, as well as the incredibly talented Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon, we couldn't be more excited to make Epix the home of this series.

We can't wait to work with Bruno and Danny - along with Peter Roth, Susan Rovner, Brett Paul and the team at Warner Horizon - on this fantastic origin story.

Shooting is due to start later on this year with a release date set for sometime in 2019. Exciting stuff!
