Suicide Squad movie news....

Here is some Suicide Squad movie news:

Apparently a lady named Margot Robbie is rumored to play Harley Quinn in the Squad movie.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this...  I don't know Margot Robbie off hand, so I can't comment on her as Harley, but as I've said before, I wish they would leave Harley out of the first Squad movie.  I feel that Harley is HIGHLY over-rated.

I know, I'm an old man... but still, I personally wish they would have stuck with more of a classic Suicide Squad line up for the first movie....

But it looks like that's what we're getting, so I'll have to deal with it and hope for the best.

What do you people think?  Let me know.
