2. In the earliest version of the story, he was portrayed as a small time hood. He was in Alfred’s employ all the time (as was Moxon).
3. I already went over this. Alfred wanted Thomas out of the way so he would have sole control over the Wayne criminal empire.
4. Alfred saw in Bruce a valuable tool. Bruce was originally a torpedo/hitman for Alfred, until he became strong enough on his own to take over.
5. Because it’s a terrific cover story. If they could get people to believe that Bruce was traumatized by the deaths of his parents, it would provide an ‘out’ if Bruce was ever caught. In reality, the little skiver was a psychopath from Day 1.

2.In the earliest versions of the story Alfred didn't even exist as a character .He doesn't show up till detective comics 83 while the murder of he Waynes goes back to issue 33
3.Accept there is no way alfred could legally inherit the Wayne estate or Wayne enterprises and again Thomas Wayne wasn't a criminal
4.Accept in most depiction Alfred doesn't want him to become batman or pursue a path of vengeance
5. Accept all the times Batmans been mind probed or put under the influence of something (Fear Gas ) we see him relive the trauma. So is he lying to himself ?
1. Of course you’re unaware of it. True criminal mastermind always operate from the shadows. Alfred didn’t kill the Waynes himself for reasons of plausible deniability.
2. See above. Operating from the shadows.
3. Correct - Bruce inherited Wayne Enterprises, which was a front for the Wayne criminal syndicate.
4. All part of the manipulation of Bruce’s psyche.
5. Deep down, Bruce hated his parents for serving sliced hippopotamus in suitcase sauce at his 7th birthday party. But his mind has been so warped by Alfred, that he’s deluded himself into thinking that he loves and misses his parents.
6. In case you haven’t worked it out yet, I’m taking the mickey.
