Closest we have to a Batman isekai was that Batman Ninja movie from some years back, when Batman, his allies and the villains all got sent to Sengoku Japan.

But, let's not forget manga adaptations of DC properties. Those have some pretty creative premises.
Tthere was that one hilarious manga adaptation, One Operation Joker, where The Joker meets the perils of SOL single fatherhood. The Joker accidentally de-ages Batman into a baby; lost without his arch-nemesis he takes it upon himself to raise the baby into Batman once more...which is a lot harder in practice.

As for Superman, there's Superman vs Meshi; a foodie SOL-themed manga which features Superman always going for a bite to eat at various chain restaurants around Japan.

Even their rivals at Marvel have been getting into this game too.
There's titles like Spiderman Octopus Girl, where Dr Otto Octavius ends up cohabiting the body of a Japanese middle school girl after a rushed mind transfer procedure somehow goes wrong. (Surprisingly fun and less distasteful than it sounds, plus it's from the creators of MHA Vigilantes).

Or the upcoming Kid Venom, featuring the adventures of the legendary Sakata Kintoki/Kintarou of Japanese folklore that bonded with an Alien Symbiote (This one is a bit different since 1) it is not a comedy, and 2) although made by a Japanese mangaka, Marvel is bypassing the Japanese market and targeting Western readers instead).
