An easier one b/c I'm in a rush: "One of the reasons Lev Gleason Publications is most famous for its Golden Age comic books is because it's main star was Daredevil, the Golden Age superhero who preceeded Marvel's Silver Age star. What other Lev Gleason Golden Age superhero had a moniker that would be co-opted by a Marvel Silver Age star?"

in terms of publication, Batman was, in Detective #247 (1957)
The Bat-Starman of that issue was apparently the inspiration for Robinson's Starman II of 1951 (David Knight).

Oh, other than this random tidbit: if we're counting recent Jonah Hex continuity, the 2nd character to call himself Starman in the DCU might actually be Ted Knight. (But I suspect Kent's answer is right, and agree with it).

I would only add that Charles McNider was Starman II in Robinson's book before David Knight took over. Either he or Bats would have worked for me.
what DC hero had a skilled bush pilot for a girlfriend/assistant, and her last name was Valliere?
