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

Why isn't a white guy dressed in a white costume festooned with primary-colored dots not named Mr. Wonder Bread?

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.

I love seeing wacky old villains revamped for modern day.

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".

Dress in polka dots: stupid and not threatening. Dress as a giant Bat: height of cool and feared by all evil.

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...

I feel like the new Suicide Squad movie is a gold mine for future topics because there is a bunch of ridiculous, obscure character in there.

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.

To see a confrontation between Polka Dot Man and The Spot from Spider-Man you have to sign on the dotted line.

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.

If Elton john turned to a life of crime

that was spot on. sorry i will see myself out

I feel Adam West would have been a perfect companion with you to narrate these Silver Age stories.

"Respect Mr Polka Dot Man!"

2:24. That joke marked the dot

I needed this video before Suicide Squad drops cause I didn’t know anything about Polka Dot Man

Polka-Dot Man was one of my favorite batman villains even before the suicide squad

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

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.

He's legit a favorite of mine too from reading my brother's comics. Yeah, bad name and honestly cheesy gimmick yet that gimmick is cool. Tech wizard he is since how he makes it work sure as hell is "magic"

Love the wig. Loving the villain history lessons.

Okay, I need a history of Crazy Quilt now

Watch them just blow up Polka Dots man's head in the movie as well 😂

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

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.

So really, the Tattooed Man is just a reskinned Polka Dot Man! I love these screwball oddities. Hail Crazy Quilt!

He’s a funny character to play as in LEGO DC villains

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.

I would revamp him by giving him matter dissolving fingers. He can poke things and the atoms desabalize and dissolve he object. Mr. Poke a Dot.

Mr polka dot man: sees dot on sasha's wall!

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 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!

I've been reading DC comics for close to 40 years, and never knew much about this character. Thanks for the info.

Most awesome Batman Villain Team up: Polka Dot Man, Kiteman, The Condiment King, and the Penny Plunderer.

Is he a dot ... is he a speck? when he's underwater, does he get wet? Oh wait, that's Particle Man -- totally different guy.

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.

I was so stoked when I unlocked him in LEGO Batman 3. Love the way he runs in it too lol

I seen his polka dots in the suicide squad teaser and my immediate thought was "I wanna eat em"

Polkadot man was legit cool. Maybe one of my favorite characters. He was just slightly underutilized in the film

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.

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

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

Sally/Sasha next you should do a video on The Spot from Marvel ....

I want to see the spot fight the polka dot man

"Spots and Dots are one in the same" Le Gasp.

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.

He looks weirdly fashionable

I honestly like what they did with him on the movie. It made sense.

Will you ever make a video of the all powerful *THE CONDIMENT KING* I would love to see that

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.

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.

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!*

For me the weirdest character in the batman. But he's a good evil villain for batman in the golden age of heroes

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.

I LOVE your channel. Never miss it. This wig is the best so far. Keep up the great work!

And now... Marvel's 1980's version: Spot!

New heir or a wag? I’m guessing wig. Anyway I’m loving it

Thank you for giving us a Polka-Dot Man history lesson, it TRULY made my morning 🧡

I love the little tune she plays at the end of her videos. It's like a nightclub fashion show chic type of beat.

I'm reminded of that old criticism of mad-scientist era Lex Luthor - why rob a bank with your Earthquake Machine when you could just patent it, sell it to the Department of Defense, become rich and famous, get investment funding for your next -evi- Totally Legitimate Invention...

Cool, I was looking for this. Thanks

I love these videos so much. My favourite comic-related series ever. Well researched, informative and hilarious. 🙂

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.

THANK YOU!! THIS IS ALL I WANTED IN LIFE!!

Imagine all the money it'd take to build that suit...only to rob a skating rink of it's nightly gate receipts, like $300. All Polka Dot Man needed was a decent financial advisor.

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!

Great content as always

polka-dot one of the OGs. can't sleep on him.

Dude in suicide squad his gonna just throw pokadot Granada’s

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!

Great video and I love your new hairstyle!

Another spot on review.

He is probably the crush of Harvey character Dot Polka.

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!

Your voice-overs are absolutely GOLDEN!!!

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!

Sasha has been pumping out videos left and right

I just hope whenever Polka Dot Man is on screen in the upcoming movie that we are treated to polka music!

I love how THE DARK Knight has a villain called the Polka-Dot Man. Who is full of colours.

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.

I was confused Polkadot Man wasn’t in Harley Quinn Show but I guess they where saving him for Suicide Squad 2.

Crazy-Quilt has a special place in the Gotham City pantheon because he was Robin's first recurring villain (in Robin's solo series in *_Star-Spangled Comics._*

His renaissance should be a pointillism costume because he have plethora of gadgets of microscopic technology and rule the world bwahaha :D

While I definitely appreciate all the videos as you and your channel are AMAZING, I hope you are taking some "Mama" time and taking care of yourself!

damn so many videos lately love it

Sasha, I love your hair and this video. Also could you consider doing a video on Catman? He's a character that really needs some love.

Feel like Polka-Dot man is gonna make a come back in comics, after the suicide squad comes out.

Nice video well done really surprised not used in the Batman cartoon of the 90s and 00s?

Wow! This video really hit the spot! ...I’ll see myself out.

gotta love supervillains who invent revolutionary new technologies in order to commit petty crimes

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.

This character is fine. He doesn't need a revamp. He just needs some exploration.

Can you do the origins of the other more less known members of the new suicide squad movie. Great video ⚫️⚪️🔴🟣🟢🟠🟤⚪️🟡🟢🟣

If the new Suicide Squad movie doesn't tie him to the dot-com financial disaster of the 90's I'm gonna be so pissed.

How did this guy not make it into the 60's tv series?

dots that turn into dots that turn into fists,there;s a sentence i never thought I'd hear. polka dot man is clearly a wizard, a dot obesessed wizard

He'll always be a superhero in my heart

I hope this is the start of a month long theme of Dot/Spot-based supervillains! Spotty September!

Oh. Right. That's where they got the idea for Spider-Man villain, "the Spot".
