[Goshdarn Batman]

"Hi Freeze, I'm Batman!" From Batman and Robin. Get CHILLS every time.

 

[Lord]

I don't remember the flight in The Man of Steel being very iconic, actually found it very forgetable.

I don't remember the flight in The Man of Steel being very iconic, actually found it very forgetable.

The camera work hurt more than it helped. Hancock had better flight scenes.

 

[TheSpectacular]

It was iconic for me. Maybe it's because it's the only superman film I've seen.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

The Joker, hanging upside down, captured by the Batman; a final fight of words and beliefs. "I think you and I are destined to do this forever."

 

[Visualiza]

It was iconic for me. Maybe it's because it's the only superman film I've seen.

Well, I don't think that fits what could be called 'iconic'.

I have a feeling that this is going to become yet another "what were your favorite moments/scenes" thread unless we can all agree on exactly what the term iconic entails.

For me, it can't simply be a nice or memorable moment. Something iconic will inherently be memorable, but not everything memorable is necessarily iconic, if that makes sense.

I think that for something to be iconic, it has to not only be memorable but also set a standard, and be immediately recognizable for its association with that particular character or movie.

I'd discount MoS for the simple fact that so many other flight scenes have not only come before it, but have also been done better. I agree with some of the others listed, however, such as Superman catching Lois ('78...just so we're clear), the upside down kiss, the assemble shot, TDK's Joker, "I'm Batman", John William's Superman theme, among others.

 

[SuperFerret]

I'd say that Superman's first flight is the most iconic moment that Man of Steel has.

 

[Alchemyst]

I always thought Spider-Man's final swing in the first Sam Raimi film was pretty ****in epic. Can't tell ya how many times I tried to re-create that on Spider-Man 2 on ps2 back in the day

 

[DCW]

Descent into Mystery

Appearance at Axis Chemicals.

Superman save Lois/Superman's first night out.

Spider-man saves MJ and the kids from Goblin.


I have so many more but these are my favorites.

 

[Green Goblin]

Spider-Man:
Upsidedown kiss in SM1
Saving people on the train in SM2
Saving Jack from a burning car TASM

 

[Batmannerism]

Hey, great thread !

Lots of these, and a lot of people have covered them but I'll put in my 10c.
( that's the smallest coin we have down here in NZ).

This is in no particular order, just the order that I thought of them.


1. Superman (man there are heaps from this film)
saves Lois Lane (Superman the Movie) and of course smiling at the audience
as he flies off into the sunrise. Classic.

2. Flight, in Man of Steel ( yo, haters, rather than ***** about how it's not iconic
why don't you instead post some iconic moments of your own).
There were plenty of other iconic moments
- Jor El's death
- the end of Krypton
-First Flight, as mentioned above
-the battle of Smallville.
- destroying the world engine
- the death of Zod (love it or hate it, it's going to be something people remember MOS for)


3. Batman 1989, Batman's entrance at the Art Gallery.

4. Spider Man (Raimi) the upside down kiss, saving MJ/ the cable car and the final swing.

5. Spider Man 2, being carried by the train passengers.

6. X Men, Magneto turns the cops guns against them. "You homo sapiens and your guns."

7. The Crow, "I see you have made your decision, now let's see you enforce it"
after which mayhem ensues.

8. The Dark Knight, wow there are heaps of great moments in this film, probably
my favourite Superhero film ever.
- Batman's first appearance
- the whole interrogation scene
- Harvey's final coin toss
- The ending, as in "He's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now."
-

9. Kick Ass, shooting D'Amico with the Bazooka was pretty epic,
great way for a bad guy to go, oh and the "flying home" sequence
with the jetpack, nice.


10. No one will probably agree with me on this one, but the OP asked what we
thought were Iconic moments, so I'm going to go with X Men Last stand
when Jean disintigrates Xavier, his final smile at Logan before he's gone.

all in all, not the best X film, and the whole Dark Phoenix plot wasn't executed as well as it could have been, but this was still a great moment.

Cheers !
