What would you want to see in a Martian Manhunter stand alone film?
Would you prefer something exploring his origins more or something like a standard find and fight the villain movie?

Martian Manhunter on DC vs Vampires
I thought Vampire J'onn was killed by Supergirl when he tried killing Mary Marvel, but we see him alive on DC vs Vampires: World War V.
And yes, on Elseworlds he's pretty mistreated, hell I want to make a list of cannon and uncannon disrespectful moments towards J'onn.>!!<

Is telepathy overused for Martian Manhunter?
As Martian Manhunter fandom, we know most writers on comics or adaptations don't like him, we see him get sidelined to see another hero shine even if he or her doesn't deserve it.
We know he has small screen time and few arcs centered around him, we know also readers don't like him either cause as Deniz Camp said he just doesn't sell comics so it's hard to find him going solo.
We saw him losing battles he should have won easy with raw power or just by being smart.
BUT few times he us shown OP and not nerfed or on watchtower duty is when he uses telepathy.
With telepathy he put gods to sleep and other crazy stuffs.
I am not saying mind stuff should be deleted, but if most continuities says he is OP we should see more that side of him.
Same way it'd be cool more MMH detective stories.

Martian Manhunter Silver Age and Mark Waid
So, Mark Waid is currently writing Justice League Unlimited comic, he teams up with Dr. Occult cause he reveals he needed help with a case cause lost some of his powers like occular vision.
Occult tells him he knew about J'onn when he tried keeping his existance a secret, while he tells this he says MMH is not so strong or fast as Superman despite arriving first.
Thought Mark Waid was a MMH fan, I don't understand how an MMH fan can say J' onn is not that powerful.

YJ MARTIAN MANHUNTER
Don't know if you've noticed it, but YJ is the only Universe until now on animation or live action with Mars still alive.
He is basically MMH pre crisis, maybe even single as that version as? Most of post crisis stories says he is a widower cause of Mars fall, but I don't remember pre crisis saying anything over his love life.
On earth is even implied he had a crush on Diane Meade, his blonde Lois Lane. (Literally a cop who always tried to discover him)

Absolute MMH news
So it will be six issues series, though Camp says he has ideas for more and asks MMH fandom, you know just 5 guys in whole world, to support it.

Opinions on the Justice League Action Martian Manhunter.
I honestly think they portrayed him to be too naive.

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.
