Matthew Perry's guilty-pleading assistant has donned a nickname referencing the actor's love of Batman.
The Friends star allegedly referred to his live-in assistant Kenny Iwamasa as "Alfred", RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Another outlet claims Iwamasa was "the 'Alfred' to Perry's 'Batman'".
Perry was found dead in his Pacific Palisades mansion on October 2023.
The revelation of Iwamasa's alleged moniker — coincidentally the same name as Perry's dog — comes amid the unfurling court cases against the five people allegedly involved in the actor's death.
The other people charged in Perry's death include: Jasveen Sangha, 41, known as"The Ketamine Queen", Dr. Salvador Plasencia, 42, or "Dr. P", Erik Fleming, 54, and Dr. Mark Chavez, 54.
Additionally, the Daily Mail's story reports Perry had nixed all professional help sometime in 2023. The firings left Iwamasa, who is not medically trained, to inject Perry six to eight times a day.
Iwamasa — who reached a plea deal with prosecutors — admitted to finding Perry unconscious from drug use "at least twice".
Iwamasa pleaded guilty to administering ketamine to Perry without having proper medical training.
On the star's final day, Iwamasa confessed Perry had asked his assistant to "shoot [Perry] up a big one".
Perry was found unresponsive in his newly purchased Pacific Palisades mansion on October 28, 2023.
As for Perry's Batman obsession, the late actor's love for the iconic vigilante was no secret.
In Perry's sobriety-focused memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, Perry repeatedly proclaimed: "I'm Batman".

It is unclear what the mysterious nickname was in reference to, but one source claims his "Mattman" posts had something to do with a TV series idea he had in the works.
The insider told People Perry was "having fun" and was "incredibly happy" after signing on to act in a new drama film, Unworthy.
However, Perry's ex, Kayti Edwards, claimed weeks after his death that the actor only referred to himself by the moniker when he was high.
She claimed in an interview with the UK Sun: "That Mattman thing was not something he did when he was sober. Mattman would come out when he was not sober, and he felt kind of invincible."
"I was around when he was getting high, although I was not getting high with him, and when I would say maybe he should cool it a little bit with the drugs, he would say, 'No, I'm Mattman.'"
