Not really a specific reference though. Maybe they're referring to the Power Ranger universe version of Batman, Darkguy?

He outright says, "He's a teacher, not Batman."

Im normally a serious Super Megaforce hater but honestly, this was probably one of the better episodes so far, if not the best. In terms of writing, you cant reinvent the wheel, but this was the most logical one ive seen, the action had a point, it kinda worked, credit to Jason Smith for doing the impossible and making me enjoy it.

Im ignoring the use of pre-zyu suits. My opinion doesnt count and will never count with Saban, so I refuse to waste my anger on pointless ranting. (obviously everybody else should feel free)

Hearing all this just makes me want to see how Super Megaforce would have gone if Disney still owned the license.

Chances are it'd be doing the franchise more justice.

And on two notes from earlier:
1. Even though I'm a definite Sentai fan moreso than PR, I still think that if your plan is to pay homage to the franchise then don't use any pre-Zyu suits without some type of explanation. It makes no sense, especially to older fans who don't follow Sentai or even know it exists. I'm assuming the "new powers" line from the Dairangers scene earlier was supposed to act as an explanation for EVERY non-PR team transformation from here on out and if that's the case...that's just lazy.

2. As stated before, "It's a show for kids anyway" shouldn't even be a valid excuse. Kids aren't stupid and not all of them have the attention span of a gold fish. It shouldn't be a reason for poor and inconsistent editing and lack of any type of explanation for why things are happening or why powers are suddenly appearing. It'd be like if Spider-man suddenly grew six extra eyes and just went "Huh. That's new." and went on with his day. You don't do that.

I thought it was preeeetty clearly the former.

So yeah, really wasn't a fan of this episode... Vekar was just frustrating to no end. I can't remember what it was exactly, but his mockery of the roll call was just so awkward and weird.

Already said I don't like the Sentai changes included. But really they shouldn't have been there.

And man... Jayden's cameo... Could the way they did it have been more disappointing?

I actually liked Jayden's cameo, and he's my least-favorite Red Ranger.

I think I found Batman in the Power Rangers universe.

I hope Casey's cameo isn't as short as Jayden's.

Considering Saban's current relentless bitchslapping of the PR continuity, I wouldn't be surprised...

YELLOW MASK IS NOT A POWER RANGER AND NEITHER IS PINK FLASH! WHY DID YOU INCLUDE THEM, HAIM? WHY?!

And if the Fiveman logo was in Tommy's lab, I'm dreading the Five-Kun Dolls appearing for God knows what ill-explained reason!
