dewlineSpoilers below the cut!
I like this development.
What it is - on one level at least - is a stopgap measure.
Consider: many of those considered first-tier or high-level second-tier Bat-rogues already know that Bruce Wayne was/is the first Batman.
Joker, Simon Hurt, Hugo Strange, Deathstroke, R'as Al Ghul, Talia Al Ghul, Bane and his original trio of cronies(and are those three still alive?)...and that's just off the top of my head. Any one of these people could have blown the lid off on their own for whatever (lack of) reason suited them.
Which makes Bruce's confession of financial support for the Batman operation a pre-emptive "firebreak" measure. It contains the damage these rogues could do before it's inflicted.
As for the franchising plan we've already been clued into?
That could be entertaining.
Waiting to see what happens next...
