I like what the AWC (Is AWC the right acronym? I forget, I've relatively new) said about the characters representing something different. Shakespeare is a playwrite and poet above all else, and can therefore represent playwriting. Romeo and Juilet stand for something entirely different, love (Which is a bit silly considering it's a tragedy, people who say it's "The best love story ever" have either never read it or have an odd definition of a love story), and can therefore be seemlessly apart from Shakespear in the battle.

In his battle, Dumbledore represented one of the two most well-known old wizard dudes from all of pop culter, not just a "Magician". If Harry Potter were to go against Harry Houdini, I'd actually like that because they're competeing for title of "Magician" rather than "Wizard".

So I guess that's were I'll draw lines as far as superheroes go. Superman and Goku were competing for "Alien protector of Earth", Batman and Sherlock for "Detective", and Bruce Banner and Dr. Jekyll for "Scientist that transforms into a monster". That said, I don't mind Wolverine vs Krueger for, I guess "Dude with claws" cuz that's about the only conection I can see. And if kinda depents who you want Joker to go against for me, I honestly kinda dislike the idea of having the Joker in a battle. For some reason he seems a bit too closely related to Batman for me. Like, one of the first things that come to mind when you think "Joker" is "Batman".
