Warning! Spoilers ahead for The Flash #769!
Batmobile. The Flash #769 just brought back an interesting piece of DC Comic lore that has long been pushed to the background. Batman has his Batmobile, Wonder Woman has her Invisible Jet, and apparently Green Arrow has a vehicle of his own that has gone through some different variations over the years.
The Emerald Archer first appeared in More Fun Comics #73 in 1941. His personal super vehicle was also featured in his first appearance. However, Batman's is significantly more popular. The Batmobile, like Green Arrow's ride, also appeared in Batman's first comic appearance. It wasn't uncommon for superheroes to have vehicles matching their needs and personas, but over time, it seems as though not all vehicles are created - or used - equally. This is particularly true in Green Arrow's case.
In The Flash #769, the Flash himself calls attention to this particular problem. Created by Jeremy Adams, Jack Herbert, Brandon Peterson, and Darko Lafuente, this issue reveals that Barry Allen's Speed Lab is located inside the Flash Museum. When inside the lab with Mr. Terrific and Oliver Queen, Barry informs his friends about how the funds are used and what kind of front the Flash Museum is. Barry remarks that this is "more cost-effective than a never-used Arrowplane." The Arrowplane is precisely what it almost sounds like - depending on when and where in comics it is found.
As previously mentioned, the Arrowplane first appeared in 1941 in More Fun Comics #73. The Arrowplane is actually a super-fast car, similar to Batman's Batmobile. However, this car is bright yellow and shaped very much like an arrow. The front is rounded, while the back has a tri-fin, sticking up and to either side like the fletching on an arrow. While Green Arrow's car does not provide much camouflage, it is supposed to be the fastest vehicle on wheels. In its first appearances, it serves as the primary vehicle for Green Arrow and Speedy. It's featured prominently in these early appearances of the character, though it would change its form in the future, eventually being called the Arrowcar.
Later, Green Arrow would have his own jet which also held the moniker of Arrowplane - though arguably more fitting since it is an actual aircraft. Like the original Arrowplane and the Arrowcar, it also resembles an arrow and it's still yellow. Its first appearance was in Adventure Comics #118. In this issue, Green Arrow and Speedy first use the Arrowcar before having to switch to the Arrowplane in order to fight the Weather Wizard. Though these vehicles were directly connected to the character early on, they all met tragic ends - at Green Arrow's own hands. Following the hero's walk away from his costume and codename, Oliver Queen purposely crashed the Arrowplane. His cars were eventually put up for auction, but not wanting them to end up in villainous hands, Green Arrow had them destroyed too.
Wonder Woman not using her jet doesn't come as a surprise since she can fly. Green Arrow on the other hand - like Batman - is just a man with specialized skill developed through lots of training. Since Oliver Queen is also rich like Batman, it would make sense for them to both have amazing vehicles to make crime fighting easier. As it is, Oliver Queen never seems to put much stock in his getaway vehicles - including a boat called the Arrowcraft - leaving them to fall into comic history - and become jokes for the Justice League to crack at his expense. Batman's Batmobile is intricately tied to the Dark Knight's identity, but the same can't be said for Green Arrow and his Arrowplane.
