"Someone" called the Shadow ? The Shadow  is one of the premier pulp
characters in comicdom, and even predates Batman. DC was publishing the
Shadow back in the mid 1970s, and they had a team up with Batman as part
of that. DC doesn't own the Shadow, though.

Pre-Crisis, it seemed like every superhero in existence knew Batman's id.
That includes not just the old League (all of whom except Firestorm
knew), but people like Supergirl, Plastic man, Metamorpho etc.
