Bryan Cranston clarifies comments comparing ‘Power Rangers’ to ‘The Dark Knight’

When asked to clarify that the “Batman” movies he was referring to were from the “Dark Knight” series, Cranston confirmed “Yeah,” but he added, “I don’t know if the tone is as dark as that because you’re dealing with teenagers. So the appropriateness of that, and real teenage life, and going through high school and the cliques and the popularity or lack thereof, and the bullies and all the different sections and sub-sections of high school life, and the insecurities of these kids and things like that — hopes and dreams — and you embrace all of that into a retelling of the ‘Power Rangers.’ And what you would get is this new version, this new reimagined version.”
