It’s a little known fact that Scotsman Wayne Bruce (descendant of Robert the Bruce) was the inspiration for The Batman Comics.
Wayne who would wear a disguise and used his inheritance to take on criminals in the 1880s, this is also why Glasgow was used to depict Gotham in the Batman films as a homage to the true origin story.
My great great grandfather’s cousin’s neighbor was Wayne Bruce’s Master Of the Stairs, an Irishman known to everyone as “Alf The Red” to those closest to him which is where DC got the idea for Alfred.
