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.
Leave a comment.....

Episode 4 : Suicide Squad Number 1... Finally!
Welcome back True Believers!!!! Sorry for the delay in getting this Headcast out, but here it is... The newest episode....
Episode 4 : Suicide Squad Number 1
This episode we do Character Profiles on Rick Flag and Amanda "The Wall" Waller!
Rick Flag Jr. first appeared in The Brave and The Bold issue 25 (which we covered in our very first Headcast) and was created by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru.
Amanda Waller aka The Wall first appeared in Legends number 1 (which we covered in our 2nd episode) and was created by John Ostrander, Len Wein, and John Bryne .
For more on both of their backstories and origins, see Secret Origins #14 (from DC Comics) which we review this episode.
The comics:
Secret Origins #14 which was $1.25
This issue of Secret Origins, covers the never before told (retconned) origin of Task Force X and Rick Flag. We also learn all about Amanda Waller and where she comes from. A great read.
And Suicide Squad #1 which was only 75 cents.
Writer: John Ostrander
Penciller: Luke McDonnell
Inker: Karl Kesel
Letterer: Todd Klein
Colorist: Carl Gafford
President Marlo of Qurac demonstrates his new group of super powered villains known as the Jihad. The group attacks a mock airport and kills hundreds of people. After the demonstration, the Jihad prepares to attack an American airport.
Also this month we have Listener Feedback!
Make sure to let me know which format you prefer. The full story coverage (like in Secret Origin) or the synopsis version (as I did the Suicide Squad #1), so I know how to make this the greatest Task Force X podcast on the net.
Also, a special Task Force X news break---
Writer extraordinaire, John Ostrander, had a triple bypass surgery and has pulled through fine and is recovering nicely.
All of us at Task Force X are glad you pulled through and are recovering.
If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please e-mail me at TaskForceX@HeadSpeaks.com (and you too can be read in Listener Feedback).
If you want you can also send us an MP3 file with your thoughts and I'll play them on the air.
Look for us on Facebook and Google+ (look for Task Force X).
Make sure to tell a friend and check back next month when we review Suicide Squad issues 2 and 3 and do Character Profiles on Captain Boomerang and Mindboggler.
