Aug 20, 2020 at 17:09 comment added Max Alekseyev Let $L:=\mathrm{lcm}(m,n,)$. Then there is always a series of solutions: $$(u^n)^m-(u^m)^n + (v^{L/k})^k = v^L$$ parameterized by integer $u,v$. So, it seems that the question lacks some important restriction.
Aug 14, 2020 at 1:57 comment added Max Alekseyev Setting $n=3$ in Will's example with exponents $(4,n+3,3n+3,4)$ gives a parametric solution for $(m,n,k)=(4,4,6)$ in the venue of the current question.
