I think just them being iconic movie heroes is enough of a connection. The dead parents, aunts and uncles thing is just a stretch and a coincidence.

But their contrasting worlds is what makes it better than like... either of them versus Jack Sparrow or somebody.

I think they've made great battles with pretty much no connection. Like Wonder Woman vs Stevie Wonder. Or TMNT vs Artists. Or Rick Grimes vs Walter White. The names are barely referenced in the battle. The channel is only referenced once in the battle. So take those loose connections away, and those are three battles between people who have barely anything in common. TMNT vs Artists and Grimes vs White are considered some of ERB's best, if I'm not mistaken.
