We desperately need a philosopher battle (it's probably the most past due "theme" of historical figures), and a battle royale would be a great way to "catch up" on what we haven't had yet. I have mixed feelings about "East vs. West" though. While a great concept, with the exception of Confucius, no other Eastern philosophers come a fraction as close to being historically significant or well-known as about a dozen Western philosophers.

I think an ideal battle royale would have them in chronological order like Russian Royale did; Confucius, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Rene Descartes, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzche. (Cut Kant if that's too many).
