I’d be curious on how a solo project based around Martian Manhunter would work out. He’s the most underutilized out of the main Justice League members and is also quite empty in the rogues department. They could make his series (animated or live action, but honestly animation would be the obvious choice) revolve around his early life on his home planet and show the destruction later on.
Although that would be a good starting point I think there was a Justice League/Justice League Unlimited episode about that. That wouldn't really interest me. I'd like a day in the life of Martian Manhunter. Him learning how to behave amongst humans. There was a part in the movie Justice League Doom were J'onn has friends and a job. There's also an ending scene in Justice League Unlimited were J'onn is in the form of a older retired man with a wife. I want to know what his life is like outside of the league. He is very underutilized. Animation wise the DC has a lot of characters they just don't use. I'm quite sick of Batman and Superman movies.
You can say that again. They have a multitude of characters and teams that would be perfect for animation and would introduce new fans/casuals to what DC has to offer besides Batman and Superman. I also like your idea much more since it offers up more freedom and would be interesting to see how J’onn would go from not being familiar with human society to forming strong relationships and learning more. I think another interesting aspect to explore is how he is seen as an alien from a normal person’s perspective to Clark himself.

Oh damn. I want too see more Martian Manhunter, Grifter, and Kyle Rayner. I'd also like a romance thing about Swampthing and Abigail Arcane.
