As a kid, I never read DC (Why would I? Excelsior!), but I’ve read some DC time-travel
comics since then (don’t tell Stan). The earliest DC time travel that I’ve found was in
1942, but as for the big boys, the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder got the jump on the Man
of Steel by a few months: Batman’s first travel was back to ancient Rome in Batman 24 via
hypnosis by Professor Carter Nichols. Here’s a table of notable DC first time-travel
experiences that I’ve found through 1969 (after that, everything became time-travel chaos):
OMIGOSH! Now I remember everything! I went to the past in order to prevent Captain Marvel
from ever existing! But when I got to the past, all I did was re-live the same events as
before! Curses!
