Mahershala Ali, maybe our next Martian Manhunter live action?
Martian Manhunter had some actors like Phil Morris and David Harewood for live action stuffs on DC tv series.
Harry Lennix had a short run as MMH on Justice League Snydercut.
Since years Marvel had issues with Blade new movie like script and getting a director, currently BLADE is officialy delayed, and RUMORS said Ali is pretty tired and has accepted or is seriously thinking on joining DC James Gunn movies as J´onn J´onzz.
This is a rumor, nothing official yet.

Absolute Martian Manhunter confirmed
Writer Deniz Camp
Art Javier Rodriguez
Deniz Camp said, "Martians in this world, they're not really from Mars. This is one of the most dramatic reimaginings in the Absolute Universe. FBI Agent is invaded by an alien consciousness that selects 'martian' from his mind to describe what it is. The book is about a complete outsider's perspective on the world combined with a complete insider's view of the world." The series is Jones "slowly going insane, but in a really fun kind of way."
Out in March, 2025

Martian Manhunter x Hawkgirl is one of most underrated comics couples
So read me a bit: I always see hate towards this couple, but not only coming from hawks fandom, even some mmh fans, the main arguments they use:
He is everyone's dad/ everyone grandpa.
He is forever widower.
She has this reencarnation thing with Hawkman.
Overall hawkgirl and her thing with Hawkman.
On Scott Snyder's Justice League, it's revealed now Kendra and Shayera exist at the same time cause reasons, and on Hawkman comic Carter got together with Shayera.
Explaining briefly J'onn and Kendra history here:
Kendra's nth wings got upgraded and J'onn helps her understanding these new powers, traveling along with John Stewart they figure out Thanagar and Mars are kinda connected, since new M'gann origin is she lived there under old martian's guide.
After that she gotta sacrifice herself (I will skip few details, maybe extend on comments) and he prepares her giving her a mind paradise with all best stuffs she had on all her previous lifes.
There she kisses him, which surprisingly doesn't bothers him at all, shortly they travels to an alternate dimension where they are married and has a son called Shayne J'onzz.
When they arrive home again, he puts her to sleep to save her from Luthor who has gone totally crazy, and Luthor forces a fusion with mmh, leaving J'onn trapped on his own body.
At this run final issue, J'onn comes back thanks to he and Kendra' son, who switch places on mind jail, and MMH first thought being free is "dear Kendra"
But a new menace called Mindhunter, an alt Batman who fused with mmh of his universe, arrives and defeats J'onn, who only got saved thanks to his strong mind Connection with her, she manases to find them and she defeats Mindhunter with her mace ignited in fire with J'onn laser vision.

How would you do a Martian Manhunter movie, or a show?
As for me i wouldn't make it an origin story, i would mention that his family and kind has died besides his niece, but it would more so be about him dealing with that pain, exploring the amazing cosmos DC has and show how compelling J'onn really is as a character.

Honest question, does J'onn have the best fanbase of all comic book characters?
I personally think so, i never met a MM fan who's a jerk thankfully, love talking with yall on this sub too!

POV: You get to write a 144 issue series for Martian Manhunter which would last for years, what story/stories would you want to write for J'onn?
As for me i'd have a big overall plan but write some small stories here and there too, im not saying my writing is on Geoff Johns lvl at all, but my ambitions would go as far to give MM what Geoff gave to GL.

Absolute Martian Manhunter
So as you know DC will make another attempt at its own Ultimate Universe comic, this time with Universe where characters lack some stuffs they have on main earth. Superman lacks his family Wonder Woman is the last Amazon Batman lacks his money
So since there is no word on MM yet, maybe in this Universe he was never married and Mars is still alive?

Best Martian Manhunter fights and victories on comics?
If you can name some, it would be pretty cool. SPECIALLY victories, cause I guess something we all MMH fandom knows is DC mostly make him... lose fights with no sense at all.

[DCAU] Does he eat/pass waste?
In the Justice League animated series, his true form seems to lack genitalia and also a rectum. This may simply be because the cartoon was not allowed to show these things, but I don’t think that’s the case. After doing research, I discovered that Martians (not in the DCAU, but in the comics) procreate by… sort of fusing together. I don’t know what happens AFTER that (do they lay an egg? Etc) but it got me wondering. If J’onn presumably has no genitals and no anus, does he need to eat? Does he pass waste? He also has no nose in the DCAU, which leads me to believe that he either doesn’t need to breathe or that he breathes through his skin.
I know he can eat. I know he eats Chocos. But he only does that in his superhero form, not his natural Martian form.
