A couple I didn't see mentioned that I love are the Nightcrawler assault on the White House in X2 and the street fight between Cap and Winter Soldier in CA:WS.
 
The single greatest moment in CBM history that will likely never be topped:

Interrogation scene in TDK. No superhero film before or since has had the same level of tension in it, and it's a scene that encapsulates the Batman and the Joker relationship perfectly.

That's a great scene - one of the first they filmed apparently - and I'd go with that for TDK. Second by a hair for me is the "Things change" exchange between Batman and Penguin in Batman Returns.

I can do this by character.

Way too many to list. I can list like hundreds of scenes, but I must agree with Flint on this:

When I saw this in IMAX and I got to see the AVENGERS fighting together for the first time, I basically could have died happy.
 
It's funny how exponentially its grown since 2008.

I think from Superman to I think FF ROTS in 2007? I think we could do more of a manageable list of scenes from 1979 to 2007.

Agreed. The pick of the litter was so much smaller back then. Now we're spoiled, LOL!
 
1. Bruce's first masking-Mask of the Phantasm.

2. Batbike chase-TDK

3. Batman/Joker interrogation-TDK.

4. Train Fight-Spider-Man 2.

5- The Dr Manhatten flashbacks-Watchmen.

6. The ending-Logan

7. The Avengers circle-shot.

8. WE ARE GROOT!

9. Wonder Woman "No mans land."

10. Blanket scene from MOS (stands out from the rest of the film).

Honorable mentions:

Superman: TM "Who's got you?!"

"The thing about Mary Jane speech"-Spider-Man.

The mask scene in Homecoming.

As much as I find Avengers to be kind of cloying in its wittiness, I really like this moment when Loki is talking to the crowd.

"There is no one like me. *Boss old man* There are always people like you."

Batman Begins: I'll never give up on you! *Until TDKR, that is :P*

Interrogation.

Team pan round.

Both such iconic comic book moments that you all know what I’m talking about, without having to say anything else.
 
I have many, (as you'd expect) but this I think tops them all.....because it comes from my favourite CBM....
