It wasn't called a Batmobile, but as Jeff noted on Saturday, there was a "Batmobile" of sorts featured in Detective Comics #27, where Batman debuted back in 1939. Bruce Wayne's first car was the red coupe seen here in Hot Wheels form, parked next to, as it happens, the vehicle Superman famously smashed a few months earlier in Action Comics #1.
Two famous first appearances of iconic superheroes, two first appearances of iconic vehicles linked to those characters. 1939 was quite a year.
