As pointed out here, the current image is a photo we don't have permission to use.

So with that in mind, two image suggestions:

1.1

1.2

Either one places emphasis on the "romance" angle of Swan Boats, combined with a Tunnel of Love.

[tup] to either, but leaning towards 1.1.

1.1[tup]

We could also combine the two, but I’m leaning towards just 1.1.

I like 1.1 but I also wouldn't mind if we could find one that isn't combined with Tunnel of Love and is on a boating pond or lake? For example:

Let's make sure we capture the trope and not just the name.

The trope is not "a boat is shaped like a swan", but the trope is "swan boats are a symbol of love, purity, and/or innocence".

8 and 11 don't illustrate that at all, imho. 1.2 is the best, because two characters kissing is a stronger association than saying "this was nice".

[tup] 1.2

[tup] for 1.2, based on what Sparks has said. The other examples kind of lean on People Sit on Chairs territory IMO.

[tup]1.1. They aren't kissing but their posture, with her head resting on his shoulder, pretty clearly indicates they are romantically involved.

Both are good, I lean to 1.1 mostly for Bats, but 1.2 has nothing wrong with it.

1.1, I prefer when characters are clear.

Also individual examples cannot be chairs.

I wanted to through a few more out there because of how many images Batman has already:

Firstly some official The Legend of Korra work the by the creator:

Edit: Third suggestion withdrawn.
