Whenever I'm watching a movie with a famous actor or actress as the lead character, I am inclined to watch it from the perspective of it either being an origin story or a sequel to another film (or films).
For instance, who would have thought that the singing and dancing young WW2 survivor trying to sell "papes" in NY would later become Batman? Or that Jack actually survived the sinking of the Titanic but was left with damage to his language processor which meant he could only speak in Shakespearean English. "Thou art a villian!" Fortunately for him, later he was able to regain use of modern English via dream therapy.
Speaking of which, Alfred has also come a long way. From the psychotic break he had where he was surrounded by felt puppets, he went on to become the butler for Bruce Wayne. After living a life full of secrets protecting The Dark Knight, he followed Jack's footsteps and escaped into the dream world.
But of course there is also the timeless tale of none other than The Wolverine himself. After a brief stint in a french prison for stealing a loaf of bread, Logan made some friends and then most of them ended up dying. Also, being in a French jail makes you sing uncontrollably.
After minding his own business in America for a while in the 1870's, he time traveled to the 2000's with a man who looked eerily similar to his brother. Then Wolverine goes back in time to become a magician and inadvertently became entangled in a rivalry with none other than Bruce Wayne himself.
Eventually Logan met up with the X-men and had some adventures. At one point though he smoked some south farthing pipe weed with Magneto and had the strangest visions. He was a doctor in the dream. The girl from the mummy was there and there was a floating tree with hair on it. Also, he was bald. Weird right?
And that's just how it happens....
