    Default Superman-Martian Manhunter teamup

    Would you like to see Action Comics become a team-up title starring Superman and the Martian Manhunter?

    Just the two of them? Every issue? I'm not sure how long that would be sustainable. I'd follow it for the first arc at least though.

    Hell no.he is not the green Superman to me,and he is either OP or a after thought around SUPER characters(like under Morrison's run and the Supergirl tv show).

    Jonn is a JL character he belongs on the team,where he can contribute strategy and maturity.his powers shouldn't be anything like Supermans.jonns is about being one with his ppl and his world,that's why he is a telepath and a shapeshifter while kryptonians are all about power,which is why superman is like a tank or a nuke.

    A mini-series where the two team up would be one thing.
    A regular, continuous title where those two always team up sounds . . . pointless.
    J'onn doesn't need a title where he's constantly compared to Kal-El. (Just like a regular, continuous Superman-and-original Captain Marvel/"Shazam" series wouldn't be all that interesting after awhile.)
    Regular Superman-and-Batman series have worked in the past because the contrasts between the two can complement each one's own abilities/specialties.

    Nope. Love J'onn (Much more than Superman himself) and I'd happily read this as a mini, but I still favor Action Comics becoming the Super Family team book.

    Pretty much this. The team-up of J'Onn and Kal would be great to show their similarities and differences, but not on an ongoing basis.

    This idea is very similar to the OP's idea for Batman and Green Arrow which gets the same response from me. Great as the characters are similar and need something to differentiate them, but permanently, nope.

    Maybe a 6 or 8 issue DC Comics Presents and a Brave and the Bold for these ideas.

    I'm all for more Jonn Jonnz, but I don't believe that Superman is the best pick for a team up book.
    ConnEr Kent flies. ConnOr Hawke has a bow. Batman's kid is named DamiAn.

    To do spoiler tags, use [ spoil ] at the start of the sentence and [ /spoil ] at the end, without the spaces. You're welcome!

    I'm not sure if there's market for a Superman team-up book with just Martian Manhunter...even though I would definitely pick it up .

    I'm asking because I'm wondering whether the MM has the appeal to make this doable. If not, then there might not be a way to get him into an ongoing besides the JLA.

    I would prefer MM and Batman. The contrast between the two could work like Batman and Superman.
    And since both of them have a background as detectives they could work together on cases like that.

    maybe we can have a title like the martian manhunter and the outsiders where red tornado manhunter de Paul Talia deadman black lightning and blockbuster could team up with MM.

    I don't know if it's just that Martian Manhunter doesn't have enough appeal to make this doable. As some of us have pointed out, Superman is also a part of the problem with this combination.
    Maybe a Martian Manhunter and Batwoman team-up title would generate more interest?

    I only suggested her because many may feel Batman is over-exposed.
