Alfred Pennyworth's trips in the display about his speedy post-SAS soldier days understandably happen in what's a unconditionally different era.

Origin stories or prequels will also be hit or miss; the biggest deciding issue is generally how compelling a character that is being explored in said foundation story. And if you grew up studying Batman comics or gazing The Animated Series on the WB, there may be probably a superb opportunity you wondered simply how Alfred Pennyworth become so darn cool.

This is probably why Pennyworth were given greenlit, and if you are questioning what era it's set in, do not be disturbed, it is in keeping with Batman's personal tale arc.

What generation is 'Pennyworth' set in?

But do not expect the display to be totally steeped in fact ... it is more like a sensible paintings of fiction with occasions and phenomenon conjured up for the sequence.

This simply doesn't lengthen to fictional characters and eventualities/dialogue, however large-scale practices as smartly — like the proven fact that public executions were televised. While capital punishment was once nonetheless in observe in the U.K. up until 1964, there isn't any ancient documentation to reinforce the idea that the executions were broadcast on TV, especially ones as brutal in the display, like disemboweling.

Which is not necessarily a foul thing. It's simply that folks who had been hoping to find some artful Easter eggs, or grand orchestration that units the stage for what Gotham is going to become, or offers hints to the origins of specific legal organizations is also disenchanted.
