‘Justice League: Mortal’ Images Show Hugh Keays-Byrne In Full Costume As Martian Manhunter

Could Justice League: Mortal have been the perfect DC film? A new look at the project reveals how Hugh Keays-Byrne would have looked as Martian Manhunter.

Back in 2007, right at the fulcrum point of superhero mania on the silver screen, Warner Bros. recruited Mad Max director George Miller to adapt the iconic Justice League to film. While details about the tragic cancellation of Justice League: Mortal have trickled out over the years, including concept art for the Batcave, DC has managed to keep a tight hold on what Hugh Keays-Byrne would have looked like as Martian Manhunter, with the only glimpses fans have gotten being of group photos. The photos are oddly alien in ways that modern films and CGI struggle to capture, making Hugh Keays-Byrne the most accurate depiction of the DC character to never formally hit the silver screen.
