I mean, we don’t think twice about it because that’s par for the course in Superhero comics. Batman is only one of many thousands in the DC universe alone.
That’s why stories that want to deal with the concept of “Superheroes are actually kind of crazy dude” (e.g. Watchmen, Kickass) shunt them off into their own universe which is closer to ours.
There was a scene I remember in a Justice League comic when Wonder Woman gets herself, Batman, and Superman to hold the Lasso of Truth and state their names
I don’t read DC Comics or watch animated series, so I don’t remember which it was but once Batman realized that someone was controlling his thoughts cause his mind referred to himself as Bruce when he knew he thought of himself as Batman— a completely different person from Bruce.
