BvS Superman??? Harry Lennix is General Swanwick in BvS: Dawn of Justice

I don't think it would be that hard to transition him into MM, and he has a great look/voice for it imo. Can you imagine the dialogue? :eek:

Superman: Do you have a first name General?
Swanwick: I didn't know we were on a first name basis.
Superman: Kal... that's my name.
Swanwick: John... Jones
Superman: Which is it?

Touches his face "cue Martian Manhunter flashback" :hehe:

Superman: You're an alien.
John: I prefer the term... Martian.

:D :D :D
 
Seeing him explain why he held back identity, and why he had to be "sure" that Superman was worthy of trusting. Martian Manhunter being aware of an imminent threat from Darkseid could even be eluded too. Having him responsible for the death of his people, and not wanting Earth to suffer the same fate. He could explain that he didn't help with Zod to make sure Superman was capable of fighting for the people of Earth, and in destroying him, the trust that he could defeat this future threat of Darkseid would be cool. It would be neat to lead up to a Darkseid threat, without making him a direct part of the BvS villains. Something to setup for JL film later.
 
Questions like why he didn't help Supes? won't cease with that explanation... Maybe when he arrived at earth was like supresed his abilities by the government.

and yeah Heat vision of Zod wouldn't be a good thing for him :o
 
If you know any General in the US Army, he played one very well.

Honestly the portrayal of the military in general in MoS was better than I was expecting. Most movies butcher how soldiers act and work, but the only thing that kind of bugged me in Mos was when Col Hardy just talked right over Swanwick to Faora and made the decision not to turn over Lois himself.

That would be great! :woot:
 
Harry Lennix will voice Black Manta in Justice League: Throne of Atlantis.
 
Just another subtle thing with Lennix in MoS is when Superman breaks the cuffs and walks toward the mirror everyone sort of walks back in fear except for Lennix, he doesn't even twitch (I don't think)

I saw that on CBM and read it as "Harry Lennix is Black Manta in Justice League" and my jaw dropped.

Now I know it's just the animated film.

That's cools I've not enjoyed a DC animated movie since Flashpoint Paradox. Assault on Arkham was the best one yet since the reboot.
 
Michael K Williams is perfect for Black Manta

Hmm, Flashpoint Paradox is actually a more recent one. I haven't enjoyed a DC animated movie since Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.


Edit: my mistake, I was thinking about Crisis on Two Earths, not Doom. I haven't really enjoyed the latter.

It would have been cool if some point, he mentions General Sam Lane around Lois in Man Of Steel.
 
I'd like to see this character fleshed out a bit more, like little bits of his backstory.

E.g. Does General Swanwick have a wife and kids, his background in how he became a general?

It would be cool for him to be Steve Trevor's superior, as someone mentioned in the WW forum.
 
That would be a waste of time I'd rather they spend time on characters that actually matter.
 
Still crossing my fingers that he's been Martian Manhunter this whole time. Has there been any confirmation that it's NOT true? Because someone should call Zack Snyder ASAP.
 
There's no official evidence that he's Manhunter, but there's neither anything to take out some of our assumptions from the movie and one set pic.
 
Yeah a set pic of him with a mocap suit. Some pals say that maybe he wanted to get some fun in some shots, some assumed that he was the Martian but at the end he was not included in the movie after all.
 
If it's the set pic I think you're talking about, that wasn't him. It was a stuntman.
 
Nope. It was him. There's one. Just google Harry Lennix Martian Manhunter Man of Steel and you'll get the pic.
 
suntman John-An
