[DC] Is Alfred ever afraid of Batman?

We see in Mask Of The Phantasm, a scene were Alfred is genuinely scared when Bruce put on his suit. Even though he knows who Batman is, is he still afraid of him? Does Alfred recognize how dangerous The Batman is? Do the theatrics work on him every once and awhile?

Not in a traditional sense. 
He's been Bruce's guardian and has been for years by then. 
He thinks batman is dangerous to who is essentially his son. 

If your deeply traumatized son put on a leather suit and started beating up criminals you'd be scared of what could happen to him.

What if he gets hurt too bad?

What if stiches and a sling won't be enough?

What if something makes him more unstable? 


He may have been spooked a time or two, but he's more afraid of what Batman is to his son. An incredibly dangerous and unhealthy coping mechanism.
