I think the general "I'm Batman" line is up there somewhere.

"The truth is... I am Iron Man." That's not iconic at all. Nobody remembers that line.

Look it up It's pretty much a fact. Most people, even non-comic book fans, know those lines. Heck, the first 2 are as well-known to the general public as any of Shakespeare's quotes. Most people know that "faster than a speeding bullet" is a reference to Superman. That's how iconic those lines are.

My family do, and no one in it (myself included) is that great of a superhero-movie fan. Most people I know do—mostly because it stands against years of superhero-movie cliché and behavior. I thought it quite clever.

I thought it quite clever. 1st, not too many people watched it. 2nd, it was a really cliché line since it had already been done before, not once but twice before in other superhero movies.

DC-Fan I completely disagree with your Point 1—not many people saw Iron Man? Really?—but there’s no tangible evidence, I suppose, though it earned $585.2 million at the box office. 2) I’m willing to be persuaded on this, pursuant to seeing genuine factual evidence. What are the two previous superhero movies in which the hero revealed his identity?

What are the two previous superhero movies in which the hero revealed his identity? 1) Not many people saw Iron Man. Every DECU movie made more than Iron Man. The Dark Knight was released the same year as Iron Man and made 1.7 times more than Iron Man.
2) If it's just superheroes revealing their identity that's been done plenty of times before Iron Man. The X-Men and Fantastic Four basically don't have secret identities. And even before that, Superman revealed his identity to Lois Lane in Superman II and Batman revealed hisidentity to Selina Kyle in Batman Returns. So superheroes revealing their identity isn't anything new (despite your claim that Iron Man was the 1st), just like shared cinematic universes aren't anything new (despite the claim by MCU fans that MCU is the 1st shared cinematic universe in movie history).
As for the line "I am Iron Man", that's basically a copy of the "I'm Batman" line in Batman and the "Who am I? I'm Spider-Man." line in Spider-Man. The line been used several times before so it was just cliché in Iron Man.

I feel like I’m Alice—does that make you the White Rabbit? 1. I’m not comparing it between franchises. I think both of your “fandoms” here should stop looking it through that sort of lens and compare each movie as an individual unit in its own right—indeed, that’s one of my major criticisms of the shared universe. To asset that “no one” saw Iron Man, however, is utterly ridiculous and will quickly be proved false by any objective observer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Man_(2008_film)#Reception web.archive.org/web/20080508173509/http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2008/05/04/ap4967190.html www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=ironman.htm 2. Non sequitur. Your reasoning does not follow from your premise. Revealing a secret identity means having a secret identity to reveal, making the statement “the X-Men and Fantastic Four basically don’t have secret identities” both factual (I suppose, not knowing much about either franchise) and irrelevant. Superman’s revealing his identity to Lois is closer to the mark but again misses it, as it is still a secret, simply shared with her. ( Pace a strange assertion that I’ve heard before, a secret does not stop being a secret just because more than one person knows it. Thus “secret conspiracies,” etc.) At the end of Iron Man, Stark reveals his secret identity to the world—turning the very concept of a superhero’s secret identity on its head, a clever development implicit when the secret agent gives him possible alibis and he instead tells the truth. I’m not referencing the line but, rather, the context in which the line is used.

"I am Ironman" wasn't MCU coping "I'm Batman. " It's an homage to Ironman by Black Sabbath. The song starts with Ozzy saying the line.Thats why the song played after RDJ said the line and thats why it plays throughout the Credits. in Avengers Tony wears the Technical Ecstasy Tour tshirt by Black Sabbath

Wow so MCU copied Black Sabbath? Copied is to strong a word for what happened. MCU wanted to use the song. Black Sabbath wanted money both got what they were looking for.

I thought it quite clever. 1st, not too many people watched it. 2nd, it was a really cliché line since it had already been done before, not once but twice before in other superhero movies. 1: more people saw Iron man than saw Justice League, which you say has one of the most iconic moments in CBM history, so "nobody saw it" is a retarded statement and argument to make, compared to The Dark Knight even it doesn't hold up because as you said TDK didn't even double IM's numbers, the nobody saw it comparison when you have actual differences that can be measured by actual multiples such as The Avengers was seen by over 7 times the amount of people that saw Green Lantern.
2: No factually incorrect, it's not the fact someone knew who the hero was, this is actually a regular thing in CBM's a new person is brought in on the secret or revealed to know it, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin and so on all have this the secret ID revealed to a not in the know character, Fan 4 never had secret id's that's actually a part of their deal everyone knows who they are and where they are, IM flipped the script of a typically secretive hero actually ousting himself to the world.

And all of that is still irrelevant to the topic, which is the most iconic quotes in superhero moives and TV shows. Like I said in a previous post, the first 2 are as well-known to the general public as any of Shakespeare's quotes. Most people know that "faster than a speeding bullet" is a reference to Superman. That's how iconic those lines are. On the other hand, three's nothing iconic about the Iron Man line. Most people don't know and aren't familiar with the Iron Man lines so it isn't iconic at all.
