Or a Origin Story for Polka-Dot Man in the new DC Universe !
Hollywood, 1979. The golden age of auteur cinema is ending. Superpowered metahumans and the Justice Society dominate screens, pushing out the old masters of gritty, human stories. Among the casualties is Abnero “Tommy” Krillo, a legendary Italian-American director famed for neon-lit gangland epics and experimental lightning effects that once set cinema ablaze. Now broke and bitter, Abner dreams of one last masterpiece—an experimental light-and-color system he believes will reinvent movies. When Hollywood’s gatekeepers mock him and seize his home, an accident fuses his experimental “sliding disco lights” into living polka dots that cling to his white suit. Transformed, obsessed, and furious, Abner adopts the persona of Polka Dot Man, determined to steal back Hollywood’s artistry and destroy the producers who exiled him. What begins as an act of revenge becomes a psychedelic war for the soul of cinema—half serial-killer thriller, half surreal superhero nightmare.
