I'd argue the Batmobile itself isnt iconic, the concept is, as the Batmobile never has one distinct, iconic appearance or set of abilities.
>>
>>83863505
The 66 show, Burton movies and the Tumblr are instantly recognizable to anyone, though. And even if it hasn't had a consistent design, people are mostly able to tell it's a batmobile from shared design cues.

Its kinda weird to me that the most iconic element of the comic Batmobile, the bat face on the front, is rarely replicated outside of comics, especially the comics. Where as the comics tend to avoid using the movie/show batmobiles(maybe due to royalty rights?) and keep the bat face tradition alive. Even Frank Miller incorporates the Bat face in his ark Knight Batmobile, albeit heavily stylized. Its interesting to me that people who are more fans of the comic themselves than the media, including comic creators themselves, have a completely different idea of what the batmobile is, where as people who only really focus on other media tend to default to the Burton one or the BTAS one.

>>83862322
I don't know if it's "iconic" but I've always liked the X-Men's Blackbird jet. I always preferred the older version, though, which is basically a converted Lockheed SR-71 outfitted with VTOL engines and expanded passenger carrying capacity. Pic-related is the newer version, circa 1991/1992.

>>83863679
I cant tell if this is a sarcastic remark or serious.
>>
>>83863505
Just because some details differ doesn't mean that the "Batmobile design" isn't iconic. You draw a black car with spiked wings on the back and that alone will instantly make anyone think "Batmobile."

That is to say nothing of the Burton, West, and DCAU designs which are incredibly iconic in and of themselves.
>>
>>83863805
the new Batmobile is the BTAS Batmobile with the batface.

I love the batface.
>>
>>83863805
The big bat face is radical as fuck. It's really weird how it never made it into any adaptation other than The Brave and the Bold cartoon, it's not really a case of comic book silliness, it's a big slab of metal that can be used for ramming and deflecting bullets, it makes sense even in the grittiests contexts.

Except thats really only ever a feature in live action batmobiles. Most batmobiles are souped up supercars or convertables, only a couple notable models have wings on them. The most iconic piece of it, the one most seen on comic iterations is the Bat-Face-Shield.

Because the original description for the Batmobile was just that, just a souped up sports car a few years more advanced than other cars. It makes sense that comic wise, it'd reflect then-contemporary cars.
>>
>>83864191
'89 Burton and TAS are still my favorite, they're big, intimidating, and they look tough. You even get a bit of that bat face if you look closely enough.
>>
>>83863505
I disagree. There a couple of distinctive iconic designs.
>>
>>83864577
the fact that it HAS multiple, entirely unique and distinct designs that look almost nothing alike is EXACTLY MY POINT.
>>
>>83864577
You have no idea what iconic means.

Spiderman isnt iconic. Superman is.

The idea of the batmobile is iconic, but no batmobile is truly iconic
>>
>>83862999
Kinda funny but fuck the haters anyway, the Invisible Jet is fine. The only real issue with it is that it's redundant whenever WW can actually fly, which is why I'm an advocate of taking away that power from WW permanently.

All the dipshit Superfriends jokes are dumb once you really think about it and the advantages a fucking invisible jet would have. It's a fucking superpowerful invisible jet.

Just because it looked ridiculous in Superfriends doesn't make it actually ridiculous. It's like Aquaman.

The original Star-Lord's ally, Ship, who was a sentient Cosmic angel who could alter the appearance of her body at will. She was originally a sentient star who's solar body was destroyed, yet her consciousness survived in an immaterial state until the Master of the Sun helped her to rematerialize and help Star-Lord protect the universe.

Well Aquaman is up there in terms of metahuman strength but yeah I agree Wonder Woman should be a step below Superman.

I contend that at least two of the batmobile designs are iconic. More iconic than most of the other vehicles in the thread.

Visually striking, instantly identifiable, very memorable.

I think he had a fully realized character arc from his early life as the Cosmic defender Star-Lord with Ship to becoming the grizzled veteran we see during the Annihilation conflict, to finally becoming Star-Lord again, but like this. I miss Ship too, and I would love to see them reunited, but at least her death had a significant impact on Peter's character.

Instead of just writing off his past history and pretending it didn't exist, this book actually built upon his history and developed his character from it. With the new Guardians books, it's just blatant slash and burn style tactics in order remold everything without any sense of growth.

Like, it made sense to get rid of Ship circa Annihilation because nobody gave a shit about star lord or had time to get invested in his talking ship, but now that he's the superstar leader of a movie-franchise superteam, he's (along with the rest of the GotG) a big enough deal to carry a sentient ship again.

What's funny is if they had kept Ship during Annihilation the series would've been literally Farscape. It already drew a lot of similarities. But if they do it now, with how shitty nuGotG is, they'll just shit her up.
