Yes, the Earth-1 Catwoman does know that Batman is Bruce Wayne. In BATMAN #355,
she called him Bruce while he was in his Batman costume. He didn't acknowledge
the slip in any way, so I don't know if he just wasn't surprised or didn't
realize it at the time. I find it odd that in last month's DETECTIVE (or was
it last month's BATMAN?) he blindfolded her before bringing her to the Batcave,
if he knows that she knows he's Bruce Wayne.
	Oh, and before anyone brings it up, her calling Batman Bruce wasn't a
slip on Moench's part since the story revolved around Catwoman's jealousy
towards Vicki Vale, for whom he never showed any interest as Batman. And yet,
she was accusing Batman.
	Everyone seems to have forgotten that Gordon also knows Bruce Wayne is
Batman. there was a back feature story some years back in which Gordon was,
for some reason I forget, wandering around Wayne Manor and stumbled across the
entrance to the Batcave behind the grandfather clock. I've looked through my
collection, but I can't find the specific issue. I've got some gaps from when
I sold off a bunch of comics, so that might have been one of them. On the
other hand, the recent issue, in which Gordon mentions to Bullock that he's
known that Robin isn't the original might indicate that Moench is aware that
Gordon knows.
