I could totally see him getting a butler named Alfred so he can fancy himself as Batman.

Only, you know, without the murdered parents part of it.

Come to think of it, the more appropriate personal servant for this yutz would be named “Jeeves.”

I’d say Baldrick would be more appropriate, considering all the silly scheming involved.

Hmm… I know Curtis & Atkinson mentioned that they’d thought about a fifth season of Blackadder set in the 60s as some kinda doper band with Baldrick as a roadie, but Blackadder as an inept corporate raider has some potential as well.
