Even though I don't know that scene, what I do know is that Batman makes it clear numerous times that he indeed self-identifies as Batman, NOT as Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne is his real alias, his real mask, Batman is who he actually considers himself to be.

So, in a sense, he didn't deny the lasso. Rather, it made him be fully honest about himself and how "broken" his psyche really is.
