I don't know if this is something, but! I was re-listening to the Fatman on Batman interview with GM & Kevin Smith, and I noticed the description given for GM's take on Batman is that he *incorporates* all incarnations of the character into a single continuity and biographical history. In which case, "Batman Incorporated" makes for an appropriate signifier for not only the in-story corporate franchising of the Bat Family, but also as a name for this multi, or even omni, inclusive incarnation of the Dark Knight :)))
And then add in the underlying philosophy of GM's work, as he told Douglas Rushkoff: "We're undeniably a part of an organism that includes all of us."
The idea of an incorporated identity is an interesting premise within the "all are one" mystic genre, because it broaches the question of what happens with increased recognition of this interconnection? Does collective efficacy improve with awareness of interdependence? Or maybe it's always ready already!
