In addition to that, <em>The Suicide Squad<\/em> director James Gunn spoke about choosing the character,\u00a0\u201cthe dumbest DC character of all time,\u201d for the film.<\/p>\n<p>If you know who Polka-Dot Man is at all, you likely think of him as a punchline. After all, his damn name is\u00a0<em>Polka-Dot Man<\/em>, and he wears a costume covered in polka-dots (Perhaps the only DC villain sillier is Crazy Quilt, a villain who wears a costume that looks like\u2026a crazy quilt). But despite all this, Polka-Dot Man is about to make his big-screen debut in\u00a0<em>The Suicide Squad<\/em>.<br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post -->Speaking with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/the-suicide-squad-set-visit-james-gunn-margot-robbie\/\">Games Radar<\/a>,\u00a0<em>The Suicide Squad <\/em>director<strong> James Gunn<\/strong> said he deliberately sought out the \u201cdumbest\u201d character he could think of when writing the film. \u201cPolka-Dot Man is great, but I did think I needed a character who\u2019s thought of as one of the dumbest ever,\u201d Gunn said. \u201cSo I went and looked online, \u2018Who\u2019s the dumbest DC character of all time?\u2019 and it was Polka-Dot Man. We\u2019ve turned that character who\u2019s a sad, pathetic character into a character who\u2019s depressed because people think he\u2019s stupid. He has a very tragic story that you learn about throughout the film \u2013 to be able to add depth to characters who are thought of as the silliest is a fun thing for me to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Suicide-Squad-Polka-Dot-Man.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-680331\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Suicide-Squad-Polka-Dot-Man-700x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Suicide-Squad-Polka-Dot-Man.png 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Suicide-Squad-Polka-Dot-Man-360x154.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Lifetime_With_a_Lot_of_Pain\"><\/span><strong>A Lifetime With a Lot of Pain<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>David Dastmalchian plays the role of Polka-Dot Man\/Abner Krill in <em>The Suicide Squad<\/em>, and based on the trailers alone \u2013 which show Polka-Dot Man as a morose, suicidal weirdo \u2013 Dastmalchian is on the verge of stealing the entire film from his fellow cast members. The actor spoke about playing the role, and the character\u2019s personal motivations.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">\u201cI can tell you that my character Abner is someone who has lived a lifetime with a lot of pain, a lot of shame, a lot of solitude because of a condition that he has,\u201d Dastmalchian said. \u201cThat condition was something that he decided at a certain point in time would be best suited to hurt other people or at least perform acts of crime, so that he could get some vengeance against a cruel and unfair world. Things haven\u2019t gone great in Abner\u2019s life basically since day one, so as we find him entering this story, he\u2019s somebody that has never been a part of anything, so even in a bunch of really broken misfits and criminals, he\u2019s maybe found one of the first moments in his life where he\u2019s a part of something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">I\u2019m excited to see\u00a0<em>The Suicide Squad<\/em>, and a big part of that excitement comes from wanting to see\u00a0Dastmalchian.
