Ghost Rider has way more than enough possible foes (almost too many tbh) for him to be waisted on a returning combatant.

as does Spawn, but since he has already been in DB I don't care as much about who he could theoretically fight in another DB.

I think if they are going to bring in a returning combatant they should go up  against other returning combatants. Spawn was wasted in season 1 against an opponent that was a complete mismatch for him. How does he not deserve to return?

And saying a character is wasted just because their opponent is a returning combatant makes no sense. Especially since it's been over 8 years since Spawn last showed up on Death Battle. the same could be said about half of season 1's combatants.

I would say is a waste when they are taking a character with a countless number of original and quality matchups (some of which otherwise do not have a high number of stand outish matchups to begin with) and set them up against a character DB has already done before. Now, this is my opinion of course, but I wouldn't exactly call Ghost Rider's other matchups quality. Lobo? Lacks any solid connection other than bikers from hell that can't die. Their powers aren't similar in any way. Sans? Don't know what to say here other than that it's just not a good matchup. They're connections are vague, their powers don't mesh well with eachother and it's kind of a stomp anyways. Then there's that Jackie Estacado guy. Can't really say I'm familiar with him at all, or what his powers are. From what little I know of him, I doubt he's a better opponent for Ghost Rider than Spawn. And according to someone on the internet, he apparently has no way of actually dealing damage to Ghost Rider anyways.

Now, Ghost Rider and Spawn have a connection of both being superheroes based in hell. Their powers are very similar and it's a fight that can reasonably go either way given how closely matched their powers are. It's a matchup a lot of people have debated and people are extremely split on who they think should win.

I don't know which popular Ghost Rider matchups exists outside of the three I mentioned, so if I missed one, let me know. But seriously, in my personal opinion you just can't get a more perfect death battle than Ghost Rider VS Spawn. It's just a genuinely interesting idea for a fight in my opinion, and sorry, but I really fail to see why either one of them should fight someone else. see, the thing about Ghost Rider is that he is one of those characters that is so ubiquitous with demonic heroes (as well as characters with vison based powers) that he has so many matchups, and comparisons that it would be almost impossible to list them all, and that is why I think he would be better served to take on a character that has yet to appear in Death Battle.

Although you did miss a very major and popular Ghost Rider matchup, a character whom is not only a demon super hero that is associated with fire and used to be a mortal man that had his demon powers attached to him  (not entirely willfully I might add) but also comes from DC as well as debuting the exact same month of the exact same year Ghost Rider had....Etrigan.
