From the comments:
But after Fry and Laurie took on Jeeves and Wooster, I have trouble imagining anyone else in those roles, too. Which meant I had Hugh Laurie as Batman in my head while reading this.
Which doesn’t quite work. Laurie is brilliant, certainly, but not in the general shape for fisticuffs.
It’s amazing how pop culture so readily appropriates and displaces the characters in our heads. I can’t decide if this is Bale and Caine or Laurie and Fry playing Batman and Alfred as Jeeves and Wooster. Which is pretty brilliant.
