Task Force X is the Suicide Squad

DC's highly-anticipated take on the super-villains known as the Suicide Squad bows in 2016. Under the moniker Task Force X, the squad is a government-sanctioned group executing dangerous missions from a base in Belle Reve Prison. David Ayer (Training Day, End of Watch) will write and direct the summer blockbuster, which promises to be one of the darkest comic book films ever. (Photo: Twitter/@DavidAyerMovies)

The Joker is Back

Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club) will follow in the footsteps of Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger to play the iconic character. Leto, who practiced method acting for the role, gave each cast member a gift from the Joker. Margot Robbie kept the live rat that was gifted to her because, “if Harley got something from Joker, she’d probably cherish it.” In the comics, the Clown Prince of Crime is not a member of the Suicide Squad.

Amanda Waller Oversees Task Force X

Viola Davis (The Help) will play high-ranking government official Amanda Waller, who supervises Task Force X. Davis described Waller as someone “ready to pick up a gun and shoot anyone at will.” Just what you want from your fearless leader. (Photo: DC Entertainment)

Killer Croc Looks Terrifying

A Boomerang is Not a Toy

Jai Courtney, who was up for the role of Deadshot, will play Australian badass Captain Boomerang. In the comics, George "Digger' Harkness uses his altered boomerang as a deadly weapon. (Photo: DC Entertainment)

Rick Flag Leads Task Force X

Tom Hardy (Bane from The Dark Knight Rises) was originally cast as Rick Flag in Suicide Squad, but a scheduling conflict opened up the role for Joel Kinnaman (Robocop). Details about his character as scarce, but the comics depict Flag as the reluctant leader of Task Force X.

The Dallas Cowboys, one of the most famous teams in the NFL, are trying something new to train their quarterbacks. The team has signed a two-year deal with a startup calledto the story.

According to Re/code, "After donning the headset, players see a live-action 3D video replay of a football play from the quarterback's perspective, and can review that play from a first-person view over and over, looking in any direction."

The current iteration of StriVR's headset is not interactive, the site points out. But as it stands, coaches can test a quarterback's decision-making skills, while another benefit is that players can "practice" without the entire team.

StriVR was developed by former Stanford kicker Derek Belch. The technology is used at Stanford, and also at a variety of other colleges. The Dallas Cowboys become the first pro team to use the technology. They have not won a Super Bowl since 1996.
