Martian Manhunter: The Actor Behind The Green

[Brainiac 8]

It's cool that he has done his research on the character...hopefully it will help his performance.

i dont htink he had to do research so much. more like he already knew. kinda like if they asked you to play superman, what would you have to look up?

 

[avidreader]

I think I'm really going to like his character and his interactions with Clark. Cant wait to see him in action.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

TVGuide.com: You've got to get a J'onn J'onzz figure.
Morris: I'm going to. I'm very excited. I think this is going to be wonderful. I think the fans are going to love it. It contradicts nothing in terms of the [DC] universe. We take it to places that I was not familiar with, but I'm not unhappy with it. I think it lends to [the place] where the show needs to go.

So does this mean he's just going to go out and buy some random MM action figure? Or that Smallville is coming out with action figures for all the heros like they did for Clark, Lex, and Lana during Season 1???

 

[Brainiac 8]

That's right, their not dolls; their action figures.

 

[04nbod]

wow .. sound like he knows what hes talking about ..
but Martian manhunter issent second in power..... supergirl is also more powerfull ..
HA! he is only third! :P

wonder woman is classed as more powerful than supergirl only because supergirl isn't fully grown- so he's forth

 

[Lightspeed]

If you guys are talking about super-strength only, yeah he is probably in the top five. But if you are talking about all of his powers combined, I believe he is in the top three IMO. I think that is what he meant by being the second most powerful character in DC.

 

[Katsuro]

Bah, he's not even gonna wear any make-up? Not even once, to show his at least half-martian form? That's ridiculous. Man, I thought putting Flash/Impulse in a hoodie and glasses was lame, but this just proves that Smallville is too afraid to accept that it's based on a comic-book. Lame.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Phil Morris rocked as John Jones I hope he returns .

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

he'll be back in at least 2 more episodes I believe, maybe 3

 

[Zorex]

Great to hear, I really enjoyed his screen time in Labyrinth, even though it wasn't hefty. More J'onn! Can't wait to see him return.

in my opinion i think it goes like this
Superman
WonderWoman
Captain Marvel
Martian Manhunter

oh yeah, and Batman.....with prep time

 

[blksuperman2]

I think MM is arguably one of the most powerful heroes around. He's got a wide array of powers that would be hard for anyone to withstand.

 

[Kebab gud]

i think both Marvel and MM are more powerfull then Wonderbrah

 

[Brainiac 8]

BLK, where have you been mister!



Oh, and according to the MM mini after IC, he is second in power only to Superman.

New Frontier is the name of the upcoming Justice League DTV based on DC: New Frontier mini-series.

When is it due to be released?

It's due out in the last quarter this year, Sept/Oct.

 

[blksuperman2]

Thanks, can't wait.

 

[ariellem]

Just saw the spoof "Meet the Spartans". Thought it was pretty awful and not funny in the least, although there were a few light moments. Phil Morris as the Persian emissary was excellent, and we got a few giggles from him singing and dancing. There wasn't enough of him to make the movie worthwhile, alas.

 

[PJBoy]

Will after MM back after all?

 

[phoenixflight]

Justice League: New Frontier is due out on DVD February 26, 2008. The two main stars of the movie are Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) and Martian Manhunter.

Although Phil Morris lends his voice talents in this direct to DVD movie, he will not be playing J'onn. His character is King Faraday. MM will be voiced by Miguel Ferrer.

Hooray...lots of screentime for the Manhunter from Mars!!!

Can't wait!!!

The Cover Art...

1-Disc

2-Disc

Following JL: NF movie is Batman: Gotham Knights (possible mid-June). The story is set between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and is 6 short films.

In late 2008/early 2009 we get a Wonder Woman origin story. WW's voice has been casted and will be played by Keri Russell.

 

[Cmill216]

I saw New Frontier.

It was alright.

 

[Cmill216]

The box art is very misleading.

You think you're getting a retro Justice League flick, when really you're just getting Hal Jordan and the Pips.

I agree.

Not enough of Big Blue in the film and Batman was hardly in it at all.



Is the book that way?

Nice little interview... he really needs to come back, maybe in the 5 episodes yet to be shot...
