Here is a list of possible hints concerning Season 4 and beyond.

Suggestion responses:

 * ERB responded to a comment suggesting Arthur Fonzarelli vs Steve Urkel, saying "Whoa, that's hilarious".
 * ERB replied to a comment asking for One Direction vs The Beatles by saying: "We've seen it so many times, we've started to consider doing it, let's leave it﻿ there for now. but know your voice has been heard. could be funny. you know 1D would get crushed, right?"
 * In Question Song 3, Nice Peter commented on the idea of Jim Henson vs Walt Disney, and said it was an "excellent idea".
 * Lloyd replied to an AMA comment on Reddit, stating the one name battle he is really pushing for is Conan the Barbarian vs Conan O'Brien.
 * During a Reddit AMA, Epicnail asked about the possibilty of a sequel. Lloyd responded with, "I think so, yes. Aside from hitler vader we haven't done any rematches but the time may be approaching".
 * On March 25th, ERB tweeted "2Bach", which may indicate Tupac or Bach being put in a battle. They could potentially face each other.
 * According to EpicLLOYD, Tupac vs Bach was really close to happening in Season 3, but it never happened.
 * In an ERB News video, Bach vs Macklemore was considered a "cool and very creative" suggestion.
 * On April 18th, Atomiclalo asked Dante on Twitter if there's any possibilty for Daft Punk vs Blues Brothers, to which Dante responded "That's tight".
 * A few suggestions were shown on the latest ERB News video, reading:
 * Calvin and Hobbes vs Ash and Pikachu (so incredibly happy to see Calvin and Hobbes here, but Bill Watterson would never want them to have voices)
 * Uncle Sam vs Mother Russia (very. broad)
 * Eddie Vedder vs Kurt Cobain ft. Dave Grohl (interesting, we've seen Kurt vs Jimi a lot, but never this)
 * Alexander Hamilton vs Aaron Burr (now we're talking, a little stiff for an ERB, but love the real life rivalry now and then)
 * Marco Polo vs Lewis and Clark (pretty awesome, and love the history, but is there a different pair Lewis and Clark could against?)
 * Osama bin Laden vs Chuck Norris (hilarious. we've always thought Bin Laden is just too touchy, people get so aggro on both sides, plus Chuck Norris would just own)
 * Bill & Ted vs Wayne and Garth (super funny, but kinda the same guys)
 * During a Periscope on April 30th, Lloyd said that Sigmund Freud vs Mother Teresa is "fucking hilarious".
 * In  a Nicepeter Podcast with Rhett & Link, Peter asked what duo they should be next as Link responded Ben & Jerry with Peter saying Ben & Jerry VS Barnum & Bailey, while Link said Ben & Jerry VS The Ringling Brothers.
 * On May 25th, after the release of Lewis and Clark vs Bill and Ted, Lloyd did a periscope where he mentioned the following things:
 * Matthew Santoro as Shel Silverstein is funny
 * He would like to see The Fine Bros in an ERB.
 * Joker for an ERB is yes, possibly against another villain like Magneto
 * Ben and Jerry would be hilarious.

Character hints:

 * Somebody asked that ERB would do a battle with George S. Patton in it, such as George S. Patton vs Erwin Rommel. ERB replied with: "now that is up my alley. I am reading the world's most boring book at the moment. it's a training guide for military officers that breaks down Rommel's manouvers battle by battle. Something about Rommel fascinates me. It's a little deep for an ERB right now, but I'll definitely think about that. and Patton rules.﻿ hmm.... I'm getting an idea... they call Rommel the desert fox, he could possibly go up against.... another guy with an animal nickname...and then Patton could... hmmmm..."
 * During a Reddit AMA, TheSteelerNation2 suggested to Lloyd Indiana Jones vs James Bond. Lloyd responded by saying Indiana Jones has not been thrown around a lot but James Bond would be an excellent character to use.
 * In an ERB News video, Peter replied that he might want to use Ronald McDonald because he would love to slam on the company, but he also said that it would be very tough to use that registered trademark.
 * In an episode of Mark Twain @ AOL, Mark Twain (portrayed by Bryce Wissel) meets Lloyd and begs him to put him in a rap battle, and suggests that his opponent could be Edwin Abbot Abbot or Henry Brook Adams. This could hint to Bryce Wissel portraying Mark Twain in a battle and possibly against either of the suggested opponents.
 * Peter has said he was reading up on Alexander Graham Bell, possibly hinting him vs Mark Zuckerberg.
 * In an episode of the Monday Show, Peter and Lloyd were trying on Wolverine claws and said that they may use them in a future rap battle.
 * On September 15th, Lou Ferrigno (most well known for portraying the Incredible Hulk in every live action incarnation) was on the ERB set. Lloyd posted a picture on Instagram of him in a "nerdy" outfit, suggesting a Hulk/Bruce Banner appearence in Season 4.
 * On January 3rd, Nice Peter tweeted a hashtag that read "forgot to tell you, I'm in the Carribean on vacation and so far I've read books about General Custer and Crazy Horse and just started one about Thomas Jefferson", hinting at all three possibly appearing at some point in Season 4.
 * According to a blog on Peter's site, Peter says Dr. House may be too late but after a few comments, he says: "I am mildly, if not completely obsessed with Dr. House at the moment, so anything is possible".
 * He also stated this regarding choosing potential candidates for battles: "The challenge (...) is being able to make something which our audience can at least understand. (...) The best scenario, to me, is to use characters that anyone can understand why they are important, whether or not they know going into it what they are all about. Hippocrates is great example for that. He's a baller, not that many people, including me, know many details about his life, but that just gives us an opportunity to find it out in research, and then put it together into a rap that can educate while being entertaining. Anyway, that's the goal". This may suggest a possible appearence of Hippocrates.
 * During a podcast on February 24th between EpicLLOYD and NicePeter, They noted that two of the planned battles were "sketchy". If this was a literal meaning, this could be a subtle hint at Mr. Bean vs Charlie Chaplin, Walt Disney vs Jim Henson, or another artist battle, however, it could also mean that they might change two of the battles.
 * In the same podcast, he quickly says that Chuck E. Cheese vs Freddy Fazbear will not happen and then says that people who want it won't like these next six right away.
 * On March 14th, Peter tweeted "I'm sitting alone at a bar, two pages into a biography of Jim Henson, eyes wet already. #fridays #rapgame", possibly hinting Jim Henson in a future rap battle.
 * On March 30th, Dante tweeted "It's been a wild Sunday" as well as "A wild Sunday indeed.", linking both a picture and a video of different puppets.
 * In response to the video, Dante posted on Instagram "@issmylie what you're witnessing is pure post-Jim Henson bio reading inspiration-bliss-new obsession", further hinting towards Jim Henson appearing.
 * In the eighth episode of Peter's podcast, found here, it is mentioned that one of the battles in Season 4 will be a story-based battle.
 * On April 14th, Lloyd posted a picture of him wearing a shirt with rolled-up striped sleeves, similar to Harry Houdini. The caption to the photo was, "Had to make the tattoo disappear for this one.", which may be a parody on the famous phrase said by magicians, "I'm gonna make this _____ disappear".
 * Dante replied to a tweet on Twitter asking if Season 4 would be magical. He replied saying, "So magical".
 * This could possibly be hinting at Walt Disney or an actual magician, such as Harry Houdini.
 * On April 18th, Lloyd and Dante held a Periscope livestream for an ERB Q&A.
 * During the interview, Lloyd said that there would be several previous characters somewhat returning during Season 4.5. This could mean that there would be reused footage from past battles or they would be cameos.
 * On their Facebook, ERB said that they would be working together with Sam Macaroni in a battle. Recently, Sam also posted a picture of a RoboCop suit with the caption, "Shooting this next week".
 * Lloyd has stated that there will be someone from Detroit in the next 6 battles, most likely hinting towards the use of the aforementioned RoboCop. However, this could also be referring to General Custer, or even Eminem.
 * On ERB's social media, a picture was posted of Peter with hair and a moustache similar to Friedrich Neitzsche. This would most likely be for the East vs West finale.
 * According to Lloyd on Periscope and Peter on a radio show at 1:43:30 both talked about considering Freddy Fazbear VS Chuck E. Cheese

Actor hints:

 * In late 2014, SkyDoesMinecraft made a video saying that "some pretty epic things were coming in rap form", possibly hinting towards him being in a rap battle.
 * Lloyd revealed, via Periscope livestream, that Dante Cimadamore, Josie Ahlquist, and Lauren Francesca would all be making cameos in the same battle.
 * Dante also posted this picture of himself in makeup on Instagram, which is speculated to be him portraying Criss Angel.
 * On Twitter, Mike Betette also confirmed he would be starring in an ERB.
 * Zach Sherwin confirmed on Twitter that he would be portraying someone in an ERB. The day before he posted this tweet, Timothy DeLaGhetto, MC Jin, and KRNFX were seen in the studio portraying the Eastern Philosophers. This heavily suggests that Zach would be playing one of their opponents, a Western Philosopher.

The list:
Nice Peter asked the ERBoH Forum for suggestions. Later, Pete uploaded a picture on Facebook, showing Lloyd looking at a paper with a bunch of ideas from the forum. The paper included suggestions and people on it. Some of them have already been revealed.

 * Peter "doesn't know Frozen", but has heard "Let it Go".
