(bruce has been de-aged into a kid, he still has his adult mind and is working on an antidote, it's fine, don't worry about it)
no lie when I saw that hug panel and realized what was going on I legit squeed out loud IRL
also the soft look Alfred is giving Bruce in the lower left panel, wow
and the shoulder touching and the actual acknowledging that they're family is mwah
(the batfamily doesn't consist of just "Bruce and the kids" you cowards, Alfred is an INTEGRAL part)
but yeah. the hug. the soft look. Mwah mwah chef's kiss squeeeeeeeee.
(sorry about the ad at the bottom I just yoinked this picture from the internet)
I guess having kid!Bruce around just hit Alfred in the feels and also the paternal instincts? ;P (Really even in context this adorable moment kinda comes outta nowhere BUT I AM NOT COMPLAINING)
also yeah picture of younger Alfred too but weirdly this Alfred looks better with the baldness then wtf THAT is, like is that a weird combover or...?
