This is certainly an odd one. Wonder what kind of info I can dig up on it....
Okay, i doubt that'll actually happen but it sounds amazing.
Well, for me, this would be one of the best things ever.
Errr I hope not, DC just tonally doesn't really fit with Power Rangers. If anything Marvel would be much better because it has Spider-man and as of spider-verse canon Leopardon.
Pretty random. I would love if they did Marvel instead, but oh well.
What is it with you people and your Marvel obsession?
I might as well throw my two cents in; both Power Rangers and DC have seen better days, but the only DC superhero team the MMPR can take is the Teen Titans GO versions of the Teen Titans.
There's no way in hell a Justice League is going to lose to drafted teenagers with little attitude. Plus I highly doubt this will happen myself.
It's not so much an obsession but the fact that Marvel is the one that has an actual direct link to Power Rangers/Super Sentai via Spider-man. It just seems appropriate they'd have a team up instead DC.

It's a crossover, they are made for fun and not taken seriously. With Mortal Kombat, they found away to make the DC superheroes be on the same level as the MK fighters.
Maybe PR is crossing over with DC because they could have ask Marvel and Marvel said no. I would hope to see a PR/TMNT comic book crossover seeing we haven't had a Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles crossover since the 90's.
