The post below is 3 years old - Every issue I mentioned is still relevant!
When are we going to see the Martian Manhunter either on TV again or in a movie?
NEVER !?
Why is this Martian Angry? Well grumpy and serious like he hasnt had his OREO fix !
Read on there is a design angle!
One thing that really annoys me about the JLA movie apart from the overusage of CGI is the TOTAL absense and NOT even a brief mention of a founding JLA member the Martian Manhunter!
DC you are missing out on a Golden Opportunity to support some great design work!
Now the Manhunter is currently on TV in Supergirl but I for one would love to see him have a whole movie or TV series of his own.
He's a shapeshifter so you could have several actors playing the part or as episode guests and actors of multiple ethnicities. Its canon in most recent versions John Jones is not his only human identity.
Now for some of the design opportunities and challenges for the character.
Costume should they go for the original 50s version or full body costume to reduce makeup time?
SFX and CGI
flashbacks to Mars
flashbacks to Erdels 50s style science lab
showing alternate Martian forms the avian or the green "elf" look.
using his invisibility powers
doing partial transformations
Seriously DC please do the Martian Manhunter!
Make this Martian Happy!
