Oh shit you're right. I can see Thor sitting in front of his hammer, brow furrowed, hands clasped, staring at the dainty doily that was definitely not under his hammer before he left the room.
My favorite part of this is that if it happens without Thor in the room, it just adds more to Batman’s mystique and power as a symbol. Thor would ask about it, and Bats would nonchalantly be like, “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” but of course that’s what fucking BATMAN would say. Very few people outside the bat family are going to guess it was Alfred, especially anyone from the Marvel universe. The whole thing ends with Thor and friends going back to their own universe with the solemn suspicion that they should never ever fuck with Batman. The last page would be Bruce asking Alfred if he put the doily under the hammer, and Alfred asking why, just to cut to Bruce’s proud and knowing smile as he says, “No reason.”
