Secret Identity

Honest question, from someone less conversant in the superhero genre than you might think: Do superheroes need to hide their secret identities even from...each other? I mean, did Superman and Batman hang around the Justice League and Batman would say, "You know what really bugs me? The liberal media! Like, have you read that Clark Kent guy? He's so obviously biased!" and then Superman would say "Well, what about that jerk Bruce Wayne? Inherited all that money and is he doing anything worthwhile with it? He's probably putting most of it into overseas tax dodges!" That all just seems awkward.
