How would you make him work in the DCEU?

I wouldn't, because I'm not a virgin.

Have him turn himself in to the army during zod's invasion. He is amnesic, doesn't know he is a Martian, he believes he may be the alien they want, the army knows superman already turn himself in so just caught him and start the cadmus project.
Make cadmus and the government his enemy as opposed to superman being the ally of the army. He isn't a detective yet, he isnt a drifter, he defends animals or some shit like that and has spend decades in the Amazon or something trying to protect some dumb tree, focus on his extreme empathy. The big reveal. Is that in the army there's some white Martians, they are getting things ready for the hyperclan. Martian manhunter will get all his memories back in some adaptation of Morrison JLA.
Also he saves some fat, bald, Virgin faggot called Geoff goyer.
Lex Luthor stole all the Oreos on the planet, are you a bad enough Martian to get your cookies back?

It's a terrible show, on a terrible channel, from a terrible universe.

I would spare him from having to exist in that shit show and save him for a reboot

I'd love an American Secrets adaptation but I don't think anyone wants to be associated with Jones anymore

God, I hate Goyer.

They are actually letting him work on the screen play for some future movie (I can't even be bothered to remember which). It all makes sense when you remember that Goyer was in the business before The Cereal King and he was the one who introduced him to Donner and got Johns the job holding Donner's figurative purse, which is the main reason Diane Nelson decided Johns had the background to be the go-between monkey between TV and Movie suits and DC Comics.
