Da Vinci was MORE than an artist. He was an inventor, a genius. He shouldn't be subjected to an artisian battle just for one thing he did. And Leonardo from TMNT was named after Da Vinci. All the turtles were named after Renaissance artists, both by the creators and in the original comics by Master Splinter. And don't complain about name-based battles when we had Napoleon vs Napoleon, Mr. T vs Mr. Rogers, and Mario Bros. vs Wright Bros. (sorta). Personally, I prefer Picasso vs Vincent Van Gogh.

Homer would be a LOT more difficult to pull off than Leonardo. They'd have to be painted completely yellow which would look ridiculous, plus the odd-shaped mouth and massive head. For the record, there was a live-action series for TMNT, and I'll admit the costuming wasn't half bad on it. Something similar could easily be done for Leonardo in an ERB.
