Gossip: Martian Manhunter Spin-off?

Post by: Shai

Last week The CW unveiled its 2007-2008 programming. Fan favorites Smallville and Supernatural will return, but is there room for another otherworldly series? Kevin Smith's Reaper might fit the bill... but what about a Martian Manhunter spin-off?

Phil Morris, the latest Martian Manhunter, (good to see him back on Smallville last week for the season finale, by the way), says he'd like his own show. The self-professed comic book geek says a Manhunter spin-off “will lend itself to the evolution of Smallville as a series, and then lay the groundwork for Metropolis, or Justice League, or whatever they want to do in terms of branching off for other series."

Wow. Manhunter first and then Justice League? That's interesting. However, with all the other show ideas floating out there, it might be best to consolidate both concepts. What do you think? Still wishing for a show about your favorite Justice League superheroes? Or is Morris onto something? Or are you still recovering from last week's explosive finale episode?

Here's a little reminder of how good Smallville is:
