Well this is certainly unexpected but welcomed nonetheless so I eagerly look forward to reading this crossover.

This crossover makes a little more sense than that dreadful flavor of the month AoT/Marvel piece, Power Rangers has been adopted into US culture for over two decades, so WHY NOT mix it up with a what if crossover work.

Oh boy another cash grab opportunity staring the Mighty Morphin Nostalgia Rangers. Call men when another team is used.
Also, kind of funny that it's a DC crossover considering that the PRU exists thanks to Marvel.

As someone who was into comics during the 90s and early 00s, I'm no stranger to silly cash in crossovers. I would personally take a pointless non-canon crossover over all the ruining of established canon that Marvel and DC seem to love doing for the past 5 years now.

The AOT Marvel crossover was just shameless fan service. This is going to have a plot. Of sorts.
Batman vs Lord Zedd is gonna happen and it's gonna be amazing.

I dunno, I actually liked the AoT/Marvel crossover.
Hell, if it were up to me I'd say they should do the same for DC. Batman and Superman taking on some Titans would be fun to see!

Do you think Japan is ever confused by the ubiquity of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers? From what I understand, Zyuranger, the show it was adapted from, wasn't that big back home.

If anything, they'd wonder why it never took off. Like Sentai has been a staple of Japanese children's TV for decades and still going. How often are we riddled with Sentai jokes throughout games and anime?
As to this adaptation itself I find it more jarring because Sentai knows not to take itself too seriously. Capes are about the same thing, and take themselves waaay too seriously. Also each team in a Sentai storyline is self-contained for the most part, and don't get bogged down trying to be a replacement for the complete known world.
Something like this can be fun, but I feel they'll overplay their hand.

DC wouldn't agree to the Justice League/Transformers crossover proposal years ago, but they go ahead with this, which has giant robots in it too? What is going on here? XD

That was timing. The New 52 was about to start.
Also, I need a Superman vs Dragonzord fight.

That and they're also clearly doing this to coincide with the fact that both franchises have live-action movies coming out next summer.

Fun crossovers have always been a thing in comics. Don't know why people have to always complain about these what-ifs just for the hell of it. The Justice League meeting up with the Power Rangers sounds awesome.
And I find it funny how I saw a lot of anime fans complain about the Marvel/Attack on Titan crossover because the heroes were wrecking the titans. These are characters who face Galactus-like threats every other week. You really think titans would give them trouble?
I've been a comic fanboy pretty much my whole life. Seeing them crossover with other things I like such as anime is just cool.

Boom for the most part tend to do okay with license titles so I am predicting it will at least be fun.

I can't wait to read a sarcastic comment from Batman on how the Power Rangers transformation and roll call takes too much times
