Basically, Anything VS. DC i don't bother watching because DC characters are just so over-powered its not even a close fight.

Personally, given that they have done mecha battles; Megazord VS. Voltron, Dragonzord VS. Mechagodzilla, why not do some spaceship battles?

Serenity Vs. Millenium Falcon

or

Colonial Viper Vs. X-Wing.
So here's the thing about your spaceship choices: they are from universes that obey completely different laws of physics. BSG and Firefly obeys real world Newtonian physics, Star Wars obeys the rules of the pulp fiction that it is based on whereby the ships behave like fighter jets in atmosphere.

I'll give an example: you know how in TLJ where running out of fuel causes the Resistance ships to stop? That is not Newtonian physics. That is what happens to a car that runs out of gas on the freeway. Newtonian physics dictate that you would carry on at the exact same speed until an outside force stops you. And before anyone says it, no its not the case that the FO ships are catching up. The Resistance ships clearly lose power and tumble back.

What this means in practice is if the Star Wars ships ended up in the BSG or Firefly universe, they would immediately become useless heaps of junk that are incapable of manoeuvring properly. And if the BSG and Firefly ships ended up in the Star Wars universe, they would suddenly find themselves to be ridiculously over engineered.

Death Battle would probably ignore these facts - but I cannot.

Yeah Star Wars ships are way OP compared to reasonable physics speculation

an archdemon from dragon age vs alduin from skyrim. Yeah, i think alduin would win relatively easily since he's "the worldeater" but I think it could be an entertaining well animated fight.

Well, one way to write around this is to put the camera in an accelerating frame of reference. Still doesn't explain:
