Talk:Epic Rap Battles of History 46/@comment-25073227-20141016042418/@comment-5264252-20141016043301

Batman and Sherlock Holmes have met in Batman's comics multiple times.

I think authors and their fictional characters can definitely be in seperate battles if they are both well-known enough on their own. Romeo and Juliet definitely are well-known enough on their own from Shakespeare. I honestly forget a lot of the time that they were his characters in the first place as they're so famous on their own. J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter are more closely associated than that, but I do think J.K. Rowling has a great enough fame that would allow her for her own battle as well. I think there should definitely be a limit to fictional characters from the same universe, but it shouldn't be an absolute no. I can see the Joker and Harry Potter in their own battles seperate from Batman and Dumbledore, as both of them are so huge on their own apart from the Batman and Dumbledore respectively. If Vader hadn't been used three times, I'd say yes to maybe either Yoda or Luke Skywalker in their own battles. Also, I think King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, and maybe Merlin could each have their own battles despite coming from the same tales.
