Shouldn't Green Arrow be folded into this organization since he's always been regarded as "Batman with a bow"? 
I'm also thinking that this guy could really benefit from some funding.

I might be a little biased since I'm relatively new to comics, but I like the concept as a whole. Don't get me wrong, I have read a lot of Batman trades since I started, but the idea of publicly admitting to funding Batman doesn't seem like the worst idea in the world. As stated in the video, Morrison likes to set things up early with a big pay off later (I've learned this after reading his Doom Patrol run) so I have faith. 
 
The only thing I take issue with, is the criticism that people wish Batman could go back to being more of an urban myth. Logistically speaking this could only last so long. Especially with the advent of technology, it was only a matter of time before someone was able to take a picture or record video of Batman. I just feel Bruce would have realized this and just sort of adjusted accordingly.

 Cat noises aside which also put me off, I think this is one of the most fun, sexy and competent portrayals of Catwoman we've seen in a while. Of course, we'll have to wait till next issue to see how she deals with the octopus, but I'm actually surprised at how much I like Morrison's Catwoman. Certainly better than how she's portrayed in all of Sirens.

I like it, I don't think the I'm funding Batman thing was the right thing to do though. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Stephanie Brown will be in England for one issue I think in a few months.  
 
The whole Batman working in the shadows only works in early year stories people know Batman is real they have known since War Games when he was caught on camera Batman is not an urban legend anymore. I do think that there being two Batmen throws people off from it being Bruce.

I understand where babs is coming from, most people probably feel that batman work best from the shadows.  I did too for a while, but now, thinking about this in depth, perhaps bruce realizes that just being an urban legend isnt enough.  For the longest time, he has been wageing  a war on crime, but in order to fight a war, you need an army.  To me thats what Batman Inc. is, an international strike force of "batmen" that are ready at his beck and call.
