 * Uncle Sam vs Mother Russia (very. broad.)
 * Eddie Vedder vs Kurt Cobain ft. Dave Grohl (interesting, we've seen Kurt vs Jimi Hendrix 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)

 * This was said due to Stan Lee's at the time unknown appearance in Jim Henson vs Stan Lee. However, Miyamoto could still appear, as Peter said.
 * In the YouTube comment section, EpicLLOYD said he liked the idea of Andy Warhol vs Anderson.
 * At ERB's concert on August 16th, 2015, GravityMan suggested Andrew Jackson vs Richard the Lionheart to Nice Peter. In response, Nice Peter stated that he couldn't get the thought of using Andrew Jackson "out of his head" and absolutely loved the idea of Lionheart vs Jackson. He also stated he would start research on it immediately.
 * At the same concert, EpicLLOYD also hinted at Sigmund Freud vs Mother Teresa happening some time in the future.
 * In the YouTube comment section, EpicLLOYD replied to a comment suggesting William Hanna and Joseph Barbera vs Matt Stone and Trey Parker, saying it was "very interesting."
 * In the YouTube comment section of Eastern Philosophers vs Western Philosophers, Dragonsblood23 asked about Rod Serling vs The Crypt Keeper in which ERB replied "I think the Twilight zone guy has a great voice, but both would be hard to dig into as characters."
 * At the Los Angeles Concert, Andrew Jackson vs Richard the Lionheart and Jay Gatsby vs Christian Grey were suggested by user GravityMan, both of which were responded positively to.

Character hints:

 * Somebody suggested that ERB 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…"
 * 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) begs Lloyd to put him in a rap battle, and suggests that his opponent could be Edwin Abbot Abbot or Henry Brooke Adams. This could hint to Bryce Wissel portraying Mark Twain in a battle and possibly against either of the suggested opponents.
 * Peter has stated that 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. However, Stan Lee ended up using Wolverine claws and it is unknown if Wolverine is still considered for a future battle.
 * 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 has 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 appearance of Hippocrates.
 * According to Lloyd on Periscope and Peter on a radio show at 1:43:30, both talked about previously considering Freddy Fazbear vs Chuck E. Cheese.
 * Buddy Holly is great, but there are many others to choose from.
 * Peter mentioned in a livestream with Tom Green that if Eminem ever wanted to be in an ERB, he would have him portray someone known for having a way with words, such as Karl Marx, Aristotle, or Thomas Jefferson.
 * At the Los Angeles concert, Lloyd mentioned how Peter was looking into the Three Musketeers.

 * Lloyd made a Snapchat asking for Wheaties lines, suggesting an athlete in a future battle.
 * Peter then tweeted about training for a role in very short shorts.
 * Bruce Jenner was later confirmed to be played by Peter in Bruce Banner vs Bruce Jenner.
 * On March 13th, Peter appeared on a podcast hosted by Mike Elder, in which he revealed that he was researching J. R. R. Tolkien and that more women would appear in Season 5.
 * On March 16th, Peter responded to a tweet asking about a return for Donald Trump, which he said was possible.
 * Later on, in the YouTube comment section for Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney, ERB stated that they "might have to do another one like this, this year...", further hinting towards a 2016 election battle featuring Trump.
 * In a livestream, Peter revealed that they are talking about having a Disney princess appear in a battle.
 * In the same livestream, the host suggested that ERB have to get Ash Ketchum in a battle, to which Peter replied "We might!".
 * When asked about the chance of a Halloween battle happening in 2016, Dante replied "My sources say boo!", suggesting that it may be unlikely.

Actor hints:

 * ERB tweeted and later posted on Faceboook about Chali 2na's new video saying "Really diggin this new @Chali2na video! What do you think of us bringing him back to play the Allstate guy?"
