Pretty much everyone else has already covered what makes a special episode of Death Battle.

But the greatest aspects are the taken-serious research. If you're willing to spend some time looking into the pros & cons of mostly fictional characters, this dedication reflects well in an episode and obviously boosts street cred for the series and franchises represented.

The biggest aspect is the interaction of the hosts themselves. Many viewers cannot help but be invested with the characters offscreen. Is it small wonder why Wiz & Boomstick are destined for a "Odd Couple" show in the future?
