As long as Uri has a thread, so should Tom Conti's character.

Can I just say that I absolutely LOVED this character? I wish we saw more of him! He was so great. I loved that little exchange with him and bruce just before
before Bruce escapes.
Oh, and as long as we don't know this characters name this'll be the title. I feel its the most accurate representation.

I noticed he gave a sort of smirk when he said that. It was kinda funny.

He was kind of cocky. In his own way.

First time poster here (it may prove a one-off). I too loved this character. The best of many established actors in small roles, also liked William Devane as President.

Disagree about the description as mentor; which evokes Ra's al Ghul in Begins. Watching I thought he was clearly a surrogate for Alfred.

If you want to give him a name, I suggest Wilfred. Alfred’s brother as referred to in Batman & Robin and the comics.
