Before he came to be known as Polka-Dot Man,
Detective Comics #300 introduced him (fairly accurately) as âthe bizarreâ Mister Polka-Dot in February 1962. The alter ego of Abner Krill was the collective brainchild of artist Sheldon Moldoff and writer and Batman-co-creator Bill Finger, which is fitting since his debut also depicted his first encounter with the Dark Knight and Robin.
As we have already established quite well, Polka-Dot Man is one of several âunusualâ villains (putting it lightly) to emerge in the Silver Age of DC Comics, and especially in Batmanâs rogues gallery, with a ridiculous quirk or gimmick that has them as the butt of many jokes ever since. However, those who mock him must not realize the fascinatingly wide range of his abilities and just how dangerous of a supervillain he can be.
In February, the new adaptation of
Mortal Kombat became the most viewed red band trailer of all time with 116 million views in a single week. But there’s already a new record holder.
James Gunn‘s DC Comics sequel
The Suicide Squad is now the most viewed red band trailer, delivering a crushing fatality to
Mortal Kombat.
James Gunn announced the record-breaking news on Friday, just before the Easter holiday weekend:
