Being the main characters of popular TV shows is not grounds for a connection at all. Neither is 'good vs evil', or them both being family-oriented characters, or the incredibly loose 'curse' thing that Nixon came up with. If you're going to scrounge for minor details about them to use as a connection, then it's a bad connection. The main connection should be the biggest, main details about a character, what makes them that character. Walter makes meth. Rick Grimes fights off zombies. That's not grounds for a connection. Sometimes there are weird connections like Napoleon vs Napoleon based on name, Mr. T vs Mr. Rogers based on title, Easter Bunny vs Genghis Khan being complete opposites along with the idea of fertility, etc., but those are still strong, memorizable traits about their characters. Being from a popular TV show isn't what makes Walter White memorable. It's his making of meth, how he does it, and why he does it that makes him memorable. The closest real connection he has to Rick Grimes is they fight for their families, but that trait can easily be used for any character. Doing what they do for their families isn't what makes them memorable enough. While Batman isn't completely memorable for being a detective, he's memorable for being a superhero, and he's a superhero BECAUSE he's a detective, which is why his connection with Sherlock Holmes was strong enough for a battle.
