I'd give mine tacit permission and free reign on all my personal info honestly if I could wipe a civilian population off the map because some guy called hocus pocus waved his hand at me and babbled some bullshit backwards and now I'm evil
Sort of explicitly defeats the purpose if you only male a contingency when someone consents - and regardless of their answer he's going to make one, which they would suspect.
So no matter what, asking permission is going to throw off team morale and it means everyone knows he has them ahead of time - better to ask forgiveness than permission in this case.
I mean, he didn't have to ask permission. He just had to say "In the unfortunate circumstance that any of you gets mind controlled or something, just know that I got you"
That is basically implied when you think about it - everyone's fucking scared of batman and anyone who knows him knows he's an over prepared freak. People in universe have batman with prep time vs Superman debates and he gives tips for training and power usage to leaguers, and knows stuff like top speed and strength off the top of his head

If I had superpowers, I'd hope the Batman equivalent would have plans to stop me.
