Makes sense. That mask is armored, has filters, etc, gets in the way.
And once the mask is off, he’s Bruce Wayne.

How to tell when superhero comics jumped the shark.
Some business advice for DC: this policy will not help you in your on-going mission to convince people that comics are intended for an audience beyond adolescent boys with a horror of ladyparts. Men who go down on women quickly learn that vigilante violence isn’t the only to feel like a goddamned superhero.
When I was out there doing great things, I’d always casually brush things off with a simple, “I’m no hero.” Turns out it was more accurate than I thought at the time.
Does no one remember:
Batman eating out Catwoman on the Red Dog beercan
No, but now I cannot unsee it.
If Batman is true to his name…
I believe his baby-mama roofied him at the time.
(From Batman: Hush)
Bruce: Damian, I have good news, I am going to marry Selina Kyle
Damian: Don’t do it. You have terrible taste in women, which includes but is not limited to my mother. Also cover your drink when you’re around her.
Marvel never seemed to have a problem with stuff like that.
Certainly not Prince Namor, one of their oldest characters.
Fairly certain there’s something on the utility-belt which makes that old tongue fairly prosaic (“uhm, the bat-…”?)
They don’t sell Harley Quinn toys though?
It should come as no surprise that pearl diving is Prince Namor’s oeuvre.
If they were human, some of those bats could use their tongue to count out exact change from their back pocket, while their pants were lying on the floor.
