James Gunn has transformed Polka Dot Man from a joke into one of the most unique on screen characters, ever, with a terrifying story arc. I want a Polka Dot Man movie
James Gunn did a great job of reinventing the Polka Dot Man. And he fits right in, because Gunn really embraces the absurd side of DC comics in this movie. The main villain is not one I would have thought I'd ever see on a movie screen, but here we are and it's great.
@@ambervalkerie9134 maybe but it would be more good if they evolved his character I cannot remember any other appearance from him apart from detective 300
So Polka Dot Man is legit OP if uses correctly, and since he did exactly what the cover said, you can say, it's no "little lie", because "He just works".
Ok 3 possible theories A. He gets his dots from Acme [⚫/🌑] _ala. Loony Toons. B. He smuggled Wakandan beads, all the way from the Marvel Universe, (they just behave differently in the DCU) then he tweaked, and flattened them, into killer fashion accessories. C. They are actually multiple, separate, pocket dimensions* with different devices/tools/weopons stored inside each one. _ala. Ultra Violet. *Not numerous, mini gateways to _A_ single polka-dot/"dalmatian" dimension, like Marvel's The Spot. Any other ideas?
The only lame bit part was how the writers treated him. Removed his powers for a baseball bat and now he is back to normal in the comics although I'm not sure how he is being utilised. He finally has a figurine.
The Polka-Dot man looks like some villain guy that Megaman has to beat up first and steal his power in order to go to the next level and take out Striped Pijama Man, & Velvet Loafer Man afterwards.
He can create weapons and vechiles etc out of his spots. Batman would be dead if Polka-Dot Man had proper writers. He was effective at the beginning before being changed to a man with a bat...Gunn is the best writer he has had since the 60s.
Logic suggests that dressing as a giant polka-dotted bat would therefore make you a pretty average guy who could really blend into a crowd if you wanted.
Here from the future to say that the movie version of PDM in TSS is a tragicomic character of the 1st degree. His dots are brutal weapons but cause him so much strife. No spoilers but the way he sees the world is sad and hilarious all at the same time. I enjoyed watching your vid about his origin. I think TSS improved the character quite a bit and I had a great time watching him in the movie.
As silly as this character seems, he might have been a really interesting foe for Batman. Think of his Polka-Dots as something like Batman's utility belt. This allows for the character to always be prepared for every eventuality regarding his plan (whatever that may be). The secret of how the polka-dots work may be the best way to ret-con the character. It doesn't have to be the person who was the original Mr. Polka-Dot. Some washed up hacker could find the suit or plans for the dots and become the latest cyber criminal of the DCU. A lot of potential with this one...
you must figure those dots have to be expensive to replace which may lead one to wonder why He never sold the tech .. he could make million on the patent alone
Marveryn that just makes me think of that one panel where Superman with the most disappointed look possible looks and says, “You invented a jet pack in your garage and your first thought was to commit crimes...” “When you put it like that...” Comics sure love their villains that could make more money legally than actually stealing 😂
An idea for an update: The reason he wears a polka dot costume is because it throws off computer recognition software. Then make the dots gimick weapons like thermite dots, acid dots for chewing into vaults and stuff.
The Polka-Dot man looks like some villain guy that Megaman has to beat up first and steal his power in order to go to the next level and take out Striped Pijama Man, & Velvet Loafer Man afterwards.
You know a comic is going to be good when it opens being philosophical about dots . . . Also Mr Polka Dot Man, like many other silver age villains, has a very interesting power that could have worked if they specified more his powers limitations, instead of just "dots do stuff"... also his costume could look better by just covering the mouth.
This guy should have been a Green Lantern villain. His polka dots seem to work on a similar level. Generating fists, large bubbles, and flying disks, the same kinds of things GL would make from his ring
I love that, at 2:13, even the opening blurb tells you things aren’t going to go well, for the Polka-Dot Man, saying: “...he almost became the Master of Batman and Robin! How he did this, and how he met his downfall, you’ll soon know as you follow the career of The Bizarre Polka-Dot Man” It’s nice of them to tell us that he only “ALMOST” defeats Batman and Robin; and that he also meets “His Downfall”, before the story has even started... ...I do so hate surprises haha.
The first story sounded cool interesting but then they stopped using him until a little bit. They then took his powers, kept the suit and gave him a bat which he beat up Gordon with. He is back in the Prime Earth/Rebirth but I'm not sure if they are using him properly. He only needs a decent writer who can him properly. Imagine being able to write for his character in a mini series or something. People want to do Batman or whatever but characters like Polka-Dot Man deserve the time and effort.
Polkadot man is my dads favourite dc character he asked me about some obscure comic book characters i knew and i mentioned a couple then i showed him polkadot man and he thought he was the coolest and most goofy character ever.
The dude sounds like some villain guy that Megaman has to beat up first and steal his power in order to go to the next level and take out Striped Pijama Man, & Velvet Loafer Man afterwards
I would wear Mr Polka Dot’s costume. I love the Silver Age and all the theme-based businesses in Gotham. I can’t tell you enough how much I enjoy your channel.
I might be in the minority but I'd like for more of these silver age characters revitalized in modern comics like how Zur-En-Arrh was in Morrison's run
Morrison likes to take obscure characters and throw them in the mix. In his current Green Lantern run, he used a character called Halk Kar, who was introduced in the 50s as "Superman's lost brother," who turned out to be a space traveler with amnesia. When his amnesia was cured, he resumed his travels. The story was slightly reworked for Superboy and the "lost brother" turned out to be Mon-El.
I may be in an even bigger minority, but I love to see an old crazy idea revisited, but I often find Morrison's ways of doing so clunky at best and incoherent at worst. And I was a big fan. I just feel like at some point the guy read his own press and started to believe his own hype.
Another wonderful episode of thank you. I should note that your voice impersonation of Robin was extremely creepy and scary but I liked it. Please do more Robin voices.
Comics Polka-Dot man - If the dot is removed from his costume, it becomes a weapon The Suicide Squad Polka-Dot Man - Infected by a virus that allows him to shoot acidic dots from his body, but the virus slowly kills him if he doesn’t use his powers
@@welch_inc6532 True since Polka Dot Man was seen alot with Bloodsport, Harley Quinn, King Shark, Rick Flag, and Ratcatcher 2 in the behind the scenes footage.
Several things: 1- Out of all the craziest DC characters never in my life I´d thought he´d be making it into live action much less a movie. 2-We can be sure that, if anything, T-Shirts of his costume will be for sale when the movie comes out. 3-Will they make a joke in the movie about a certain specific spot of the body? Like if he can use it as a weapon like the rest of the dots in his costume? 4-I don´t like that they are going to have Arm-Fall-Off-Boy in the movie because the character was created to be made fun of and not to be an actual character in the comics. 5-Please read Grant Morrison´s The Green Lantern as is it a modern take on the Silver Age of the character. 6-At some point do a video on Creeper and Orca. Does anyone think it is possible we´ll see her in live action? Maybe because King Shark will now go to the movies she could take her place in The Flash TV show.
The Ink Spot is a Tattooed Lesbian bar. While it sounds niche, it was a CRIMINALLY underserved niche and gets business from the neighboring towns. I love knowing that these women have a place that they can be respected and even wanted in Gotham City!
Characters like Polka Dot Man are really fun for me to try and tinker with in my head and figure out how you could make the character work. The idea I had was to go a little Lovecraftian and make the dots something otherworldly and maybe even make Polka Dot Man himself be something you can only loosely interpret as a bunch of dots. Or maybe you could do something maybe with the character having synthesia that manifests as dots to explain the obsession with dots? It'd also be fun to see the character as a kind of meta villain that is aware of comics being half-tone printed and messing with the comic itself. That's a meta direction I've never seen done before.
Hi Sasha, first time/long time here. Thanks for making my favorite comic vids, you always make me laugh while being informative, well-researched, and insightful! Big fan! When my pal Jon & I saw the DC Fandome announcement for the Suicide Squad lineup, we were struck by what deep cuts certain picks were. We are both DC nerds of some credibility, and some of the new movie Squad were obscure even by our standards. I can't think of a better way to meet some of these more arcane weirdos than through introductory vids on CC! This vid was the perfect intro to the Polka Dot Man. As for the character himself, I'm absolutely gobsmacked his name isn't Ben Day, after the dot printing process used throughout comics history, which in turn was named after its inventor. On the nose? Not for the damn universe that gave us Roy G Bivolo and Edward Nigma, I say! Keep up the great work, and thanks for having me on this comic book journey! Until I come up with a sign-off as clumsy as Bronze Age Hal Jordan, Make Mine Casually Comics!
Love your Batman voice, it's gravely, yet whimsical... and your Robin sounds like David Lynch when he's acting in twin peaks. Keep up with the great content and greetings from Mexico.
@@teend.cfan1591 I'd love a team up between the two. What an a-salt that'd be. The Dynamic Duo would really be put on the spot (I'll walk myself out :)
You should follow this up with the Spider-Man villain called -- the Spot. I kid you not, there was a super-villain who debuted in "Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man" #99 who called himself "The Spot", who had a similar polka-dot motif and had the distinction of being the first crook to make Spidey fall down... laughing. Check it out.
If they don't get LMFAO and Lil Jon to revise "Shots" to "Dots" and play it over the ending credits of the upcoming James Gunn Suicide Squad movie it will be a criminally missed opportunity.
I'm not sure if I could look any more into the bottomless, soulless abyss of the eyes of debut Polka Dot Man. Also, 2:18 reminded me of the video for Groove Is in the Heart.
His powers in the movie are explained more as he naturally generates them from his body and he has tech in his suit that helps him control it. But he has to expel them from his body twice a day. or he *dies!*
"Well, we can't stop him now." Yeah - grappling hook - bat rope - thats too much effort - I mean, he is so far - you'd have to aim.... eeeeehhhh. That made me laugh out loud. ;-)
I actually think this version would make a good villain for Mr. Terrific, with his T spheres and Polkadot with his versatile spots. It's a good match up
you know... actually this character would be fun to reboot/reinvent! If you replace the dots with spherical drones that attack you like the one in the horror movie 'Phantasm' it would be really fun! You can keep him an odd dresser who just likes polka dot prints too (i personal would just use black and white prints with a punch of color here and there). As goofy as it is it's a very distinct look!
I’m not from the future yet, but I feel I can pretty confidently say the Polka Dot Man will die pretty early in The Suicide Squad, either in an opening mission or by getting his head-bomb activated, just like all the characters with particularly absurd costumes.
I think they honestly made him a legitimate threat power wise in the movie,but also slightly comic relief so you got that right. Now that i think about him and clayface 3 shares kinda of the same dilemma 🤣. Also don't like how they gave him the axe,but i guess they had to with how potential powerful he could have become.
I love Polka Dot Man! Honestly I hope they don't streamline his powers toooooo much because I'm a bit tired of them trying to make every comic book character super realistic. I want some of that weirdness! you can still have a really strong character with ludicrous powers that don't make any sense. His costume design in the movie is really good, so happy they didn't try to grit-ify it. I hope he throws plenty a dot and I hope they all turn into something different and ridiculous. Anyways, great vid!
It is now later in the future and I can confirm Polka Dot Man got quite a second wind during The Suicide Squad movie. He was one of the bright _____ in what was a very well done, very dissapointing movie.
Mr Polka Dot gets the short end of the stick a lot. Even when he appears in Brave and the Bold cartoon, it was only in one episode and only during an imaginary sequence. I suppose Maybe what he really needs is a writer who would actually take him seriously. Or maybe it might be time to past the torch. Bring in a guy who finds the suit left behind and enhances its tech. You do this very well Sasha! Your husband's a Lucky man!

Why isn't a white guy dressed in a white costume festooned with primary-colored dots not named Mr. Wonder Bread?
lawsuits....thats why
also, his villian gimmick doesn't have to do with white bread
Trademark Infringement or someone did want the product placement. 🤷
Would Mr. Wonderbread be part of the Wonder Woman mythos?
Good question!
Dress in polka dots: stupid and not threatening.
Dress as a giant Bat: height of cool and feared by all evil.
Well a bat would actually inspire fear than a bunch of polka-dots.

Polka dot man is only threatening to someone with trypophobia.

I love these videos so much. My favourite comic-related series ever. Well researched, informative and hilarious. 🙂
I'd rather see Polka Dot Man fighting Batman than the Joker trotted out for the bazillionth time.
Great video and I love your new hairstyle!
I hope the movie will do that to him, what Tom King's Batman run and the Harley Quinn show did to Kite Man
Kite Man
*HELL YEAH!!*
Polka dot man.... Yeah i got nothing, just a "wow" at this being a thing
I actually think this version would make a good villain for Mr. Terrific, with his T spheres and Polkadot with his versatile spots. It's a good match up
you know... actually this character would be fun to reboot/reinvent! If you replace the dots with spherical drones that attack you like the one in the horror movie 'Phantasm' it would be really fun! You can keep him an odd dresser who just likes polka dot prints too (i personal would just use black and white prints with a punch of color here and there). As goofy as it is it's a very distinct look!
You are the BEST Sasha! Please, PLEASE, do Matter-Eater Lad next!!!
I’m not from the future yet, but I feel I can pretty confidently say the Polka Dot Man will die pretty early in The Suicide Squad, either in an opening mission or by getting his head-bomb activated, just like all the characters with particularly absurd costumes.
Love Your Batman Voice!! 😄
I think they honestly made him a legitimate threat power wise in the movie,but also slightly comic relief so you got that right. Now that i think about him and clayface 3 shares kinda of the same dilemma 🤣. Also don't like how they gave him the axe,but i guess they had to with how potential powerful he could have become.
Polka Dot Man, Crazy Quilt, Punch and Jewlee, Yango the Super-Gorilla, bring 'em on!!
I like how he bothers to explain how his stupid dots work
I mean, wouldn't you?
I love Polka Dot Man! Honestly I hope they don't streamline his powers toooooo much because I'm a bit tired of them trying to make every comic book character super realistic. I want some of that weirdness! you can still have a really strong character with ludicrous powers that don't make any sense. His costume design in the movie is really good, so happy they didn't try to grit-ify it. I hope he throws plenty a dot and I hope they all turn into something different and ridiculous. Anyways, great vid!
I was confused Polkadot Man wasn’t in Harley Quinn Show but I guess they where saving him for Suicide Squad 2.
It's likely he got embargoed
gotta love supervillains who invent revolutionary new technologies in order to commit petty crimes
Wait until he figures out one of them is Arms Fall Off Boy.
Wait, will we be getting one for Arms Fall Off Boy?
God I hope so
Love how your polka dot man speaks with a bunch of periods
It is now later in the future and I can confirm Polka Dot Man got quite a second wind during The Suicide Squad movie. He was one of the bright _____ in what was a very well done, very dissapointing movie.
Damn, he stole it already. That was quick.
Mr Polka Dot gets the short end of the stick a lot. Even when he appears in Brave and the Bold cartoon, it was only in one episode and only during an imaginary sequence. I suppose Maybe what he really needs is a writer who would actually take him seriously. Or maybe it might be time to past the torch. Bring in a guy who finds the suit left behind and enhances its tech. You do this very well Sasha! Your husband's a Lucky man!
Throw more Dots, More Dots. More Dots. Come on more dots.
