No, Bruce knows that if Phil doesn't remember Arkham, he'll still want Clint. He knows that was a pre-Arkham thing for them that just finally came to pass there, and no, he really doesn't want to think about how he'll feel if they find a Phil who will embrace Clint like a... lover... but not Bruce. Isn't that what they were, what he and Clint are, even if it's strange to use that word? Bruce knows he would do anything for Clint, just like he's willing to do anything now to get Phil back, even if he isn't his Phil. The upside to that is that maybe he can just woo Phil back.
"Yeah," he says, nodding, and then he firms up his jaw. "Yes." The thing is, he does kind of trust the other guy a little more now. After what happened in Arkham, maybe, but in New York, too. There were casualties, but the other guy apparently kept his head on straight, fought the good fight. Bruce does feel conflicted about going after SHIELD agents unprovoked, but maybe he can keep the violence down. All he wants is Phil. The rest he just isn't as concerned about.
"Whatever you need, Clint. I mean it. We're -- we need him. The three of us... We go together. Even if he doesn't remember, I think that's still true. So let's do this. Let's get him back."
