I have literally no idea what your issue could be on this.
Here's that scene:
Very early on in thier conversation, when Bruce says he needs her help, Selina says "After what I did to you?" Batman is who she betrayed, so obviously -
obviously- she is acknowledging Bruce is Batman. In no way is she "oblivious of what was revealed to her earlier in the film" as you stated in your OP.
Her "powerful friend" question is in full recognition of Bruce being Batman. It's not sarcastic, it's just going along with Bruce's approach to the dual identity thing. She is respecting the fact that Batman is more than laundry, and using Bruce's own phrase to do so.
- she is acknowledging Bruce is Batman. In no way is she "oblivious of what was revealed to her earlier in the film" as you stated in your OP.

The title of your thread is "Confused". You're confused that her delivery of the line was odd?
Again, I think she is just continuing the reference that Bruce began. At this point it's almost like an inside joke, only she's not joking - she's paying respect to the entire idea of Batman. -

There was nothing confusing about the scene or the delivery. Selina wasn't being sarcastic she was being coy which is perfectly in character.

If you can't see that her delivery is dubious/confusing then fine. I watched this film after 3 years and I'm telling you, from my perspective, the 'coy' delivery isn't obvious.
Play someone that one line (whose not seen the film or for a good while) and ask them if she implies she knows Wayne is Batman. They'll struggle to give you a definite yes or no answer (I bet they lean more to no). -

It's perfectly obvious and in the four years since the movie was released you are the only person who has ever mentioned the line and this board has been littered with people looking for any tiny thing to nitpick.
And yet even the pickers of nits never picked that nit because there is no nit to pick.

Seriously?
That line is part of a greater whole. You can't take the line out of context and expect it to be understood. If you are going to do that you can take pretty much any line of any movie and create confusion.

She probably felt weird addressing a grown man dressed as a batman. Batman. And why would she say tell batman? She was probably teasing slash flirting with him.
We have what we seek, it is there all the time, and if we give it time, it will make itself known. -

It's a joke. Dry humor. Asking a billionaire about his "powerful friend." You'd think oh, wouldn't a billionaire be powerful too? Well, no because he's kind of broke.

Selina starts the scene being tough and dismissive of Bruce.
Then she turns sarcastic. "Maybe I like it this way."
It is when Bruce says that the bomb is going off the next day that she turns serious, and takes him seriously. That is when she then coopts Bruce's lingo regarding Batman being his friend and what-not. In fact, she even says it somewhat pleadingly, as if she hopes Bruce has Batman ready to go. There's no reason to be cold and aloof anymore. Things just got real.
