I agree with most of what 2601 said. For the Joker to be best represented his ERB form should be something that encompasses the most "universal" form of the character, which Ledger is too far spun-off from to really work, though he's definitely iconic enough that he should be involved. As for Pennywise if they only pick one Skarsgard is the way to go because that's the version that is part of the huge It hype right now that would justify the battle.

However, the Bruce vs Bruce example I disagree with. I think Bruce Banner/the Hulk may actually be the best-represented comic character we've had. He raps well and his ERB character is an amalgamation of every live-action Hulk we've had, with Ruffalo's appearance, Bana's backstory, Norton's transformation sequence, and Ferrigno's Hulk. Regardless of the rest of the battle, I think Bruce Banner was pretty perfect, because he actually was a combination of different recognizable versions.

The Superman example Teddy brought up I don't think really works the same way Batman's performance or the possibility of Ledger's does. The Superman they took big inspiration from is still the example people compare Supermans to because he so perfectly embodied the iconic version of the character. While Ledger is perhaps the greatest live-action performance, what he's doing isn't necessarily the greatest representation of who the Joker is, so using him is a different case. For my money, Mark Hamill does the best job representing who The Joker is, and has gotten to play the role for so long in voice acting that his performance is what I would hold a version of The Joker to.

I wouldn't really call Wonder Woman a character. That was just Lilly playing herself rapping as WW, not to say that's necessarily bad (Wonder vs Wonder was the best battle of 5.5)
