“No!” swears Supergirl executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, crediting DC Comics chief creative officer Geoff Johns for the curveball. “This is a true story: On the pilot, [fellow exec producer] Greg Berlanti, Geoff Johns and I were standing around talking about how much we love David in the part of Hank. I don’t remember the specifics of who said what, but it was along the lines of ‘David has such a great voice, it’s too bad we cast him in this because if they ever do a Martian Manhunter movie, he’d be great for it.’ And it was Geoff who said 'Who says he can’t be the Martian Manhunter?’” After that, Kreisberg adds “we all started to think about and realized that if the Hank Henshaw we had created was an invention of J’onn to protect his true identity, it actually gave him an even more soulful back story than we had conceived.”
