Missed if somebody answered this.

1-Before Batman, while sitting in a chair contemplating how to reinvent himself, what character's crime fighter career, name and identity was inspired by a bat suddenly flying in through the character's window.

2-Name his Police Commissioner cohort.

3-The same author under a different pseudonym created another dark caped, masked, nocturnal animal inspired hero.

I guess this will probably go unanswered since it apparently has no wiki entry and is not part of the "official" narrative

Some hints:

1-He debuted in the pulp magazine Popular Detective #1 Nov. 1934
The scene...

Spoiler

"...For that reason he must become a figure of sinister import...A strange nemesis that would eventually become a legendary terror to all crimedom.
...Just what the character would be that he intended to assume was still vague in his mind. He only knew that it would have to be some nubilous creature of the night that lurked in the shadows.
He glanced a the oil lamp burning on the table. Then he swung around, suddenly tense. In the shadows above his head there came a slithering, flapping sort of sound...
As the creature hovered above the lamp for an instant it cast a huge shadow upon the wall.
"That's it!" exclaimed _____ aloud. "I'll camm myself "_____"

2- Rhymes with Gordoon

3- Has a secret lair and passage behind an old grandfather clock under his estate.
