Oh and I have a Catwoman question -- I looked at the new Catwoman and decided to not pick it up. It seems to be in Continuity with Batman etc, but when did they both start knowing each other's real identities? I mean -- have they always? Why wouldn't Bruce figure out some way to turn her in? Or is she all good now? Thanks!

Far from caught up. Just wanted to say that while I was out today getting Astonishing #2, I also got Batman: Year One. It was remarkably well-priced, and the comic book shop's $10 or more credit card rule applied. Because I only had $2 cash.
Sumi: during Hush, when they were sort of involved, which would answer the second question. IIRC, though, Bruce has known Selina was Catwoman for a while (they know each other as Bruce and Selina as well, natch, and have a history of sorts). His reveal to her of his ID was a big effin deal in Hush.
Thanks.
Is there a website that lists all the issues of any particular title?
Read Astonishing. It was good, and Joss is quite obviously a Kitty Pryde fan. Loved Beast's suggestion that Scott and Logan fight on the lawn again, possibly for a beer. Regarding the end: is that in-character for Beast? I always got the impression he felt being blue and furry was worth it for the ability to fight evil, though obviously there might be some sort of resentment. I just wonder if the feeling has come up before in canon.
The comic book store guy is a fan, and a customer who came in said the first issue was better than he'd thought it would be. So it seems to be pretty well received, which is nice for Joss.

Lots of them.
[link] does it for most of DCU.
You Marvel people are on your own, though. Only site for your stuff I went to was the old Spider-Woman site, and it's long gone.
It is in character for what I've read recently. Beast has had to battle the outside beast for a while (there was a point at which if he used his super strength it made him more animal-like and dumb, but he had to to save something). In Ultimate he was outright self-hating and hostile about it. I think it's been a bit more subtle in the main continuity.
Thanks Plei. I'll dig for a Marvel site also, but that will help a bunch.
I've hooked at least two more people on Astounishing, based on the quality of writing.
Just read AXM #2. Good stuff. #1 suffered very much from having to set things up, IMO. I enjoyed #2 a great deal more.
