DC x Reebok Sneaker Collection Will Make Your Feet Look Superheroic
If you're a superhero lover who's also into collecting sneakers, then Reebok has just the collection for you. The upcoming DC x Reebok Collection line features eight new designs inspired by some of the most iconic heroes and villains of the DC Universe.
Rather than simply plastering artwork of Batman, Superman and Harley Quinn on these sneakers, Reebok has opted for a slightly more subtle approach. This collection adapts traditional Reebok silhouettes and adds colors, shapes and other design elements drawn from DC's characters. And as is only proper, the Shaq Attaq silhouette is matched with Superman.
Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at all the sneakers in this visually dynamic collection:
The DC x Reebook Collection consists of six models in total. Most will be available in unisex sizing, except for the women-only Harley Quinn model. The Superman model will also be offered in child's sizes. Here's a full rundown of the series:
- Superman - Shaq Attaq (HQ4587, $180)
- Batman - LX2200 (HQ4584, $110)
- Joker - Club C 85 (HQ4573, $110)
- Wonder Woman - Nano X2 (HQ4585, $150)
- Harley Quinn - Freestyle Hi (HQ4572, $100)
- Lex Luthor - Workout Plus (HQ4575, $100)
The DC x Reebok Collection will go on sale on Friday, December 2, at which point they'll be available to order on Reebok's official site as well as other trailers like Amazon and Finish Line.
This new collection follows up on the previous Reebok x Looney Tunes Collection from this past spring. Not to be outdone, Converse Japan recently teamed with The Pokémon Company for a collection of sneakers inspired by the classic games.

Sonic the Hedgehog Co-Creator Reportedly Arrested for Insider Trading
Sonic the Hedgehog co-creator Yuji Naka has been arrested for suspected insider trading for an investment made while working at Square Enix.
As reported by IGN Japan, Naka was arrested by the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office alongside two other former Square Enix employees.
He allegedly bought 10,000 shares in developer Aiming, at a value of around $20,000, ahead of it announcing the Dragon Quest Tact mobile game in partnership with Square Enix. The other employees arrested, Taisuke Sazaki and Fumiaki Suzuki, allegedly purchased a combined total of 162,000 shares at a value of around $337,250. Sazaki is also alleged to have informed Naki and Suzuki about the potential rise in value.
Insider trading is the buying and selling of stocks with confidential or non-public information, usually with the intention to make money, and is illegal in Japan.
The trio are therefore reportedly suspected of investing in Aiming before the Dragon Quest game was announced, expecting the collaboration with Square Enix to drive up the value of the company. It's currently unclear if Naka or the other employees have sold their shares.
Naka is arguably most known for co-creating Sonic the Hedgehog and leading Sega's Sonic Team, but was also lead programmer on other games including Nights into Dreams, Phantasy Star Online, and more. He eventually joined Square Enix but left in June 2021, not long after the release of his latest game Balan Wonderland.

The 1000th Pokémon Has Been Revealed At Last
At last, Game Freak has done it. As of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet there are now more than 1000 Pokémon.
Pokémon Sword and Shield, along with their DLC, brought the total up to 905, and Scarlet and Violet's new additions cap the number at a whopping 1008. For those tracking, that's not counting regional variants such as Wooper's new variant in the Paldea region, though it does count new regional evolutions, assuming they have different names than their counterparts elsewhere.
So who, then, is Pokémon number 1000? Turns out, Game Freak seems to have been very aware they were designing a monster with the distinguished honor of being number 1000, so they leaned into that a bit.
Warning: We're going to spoil Pokémon number 1000 for you below this video. Don't scroll further if you don't want to know.
Who's that 1000th Pokémon? It's...Gholdengo!

Okay yes, he looks like a cereal mascot. But hear us out. Gholdengo is a fascinating little dude, and a fun choice for Pokémon 1000. He evolves from Gimmighoul, a ghost Pokémon that haunts treasure chests and can be found pulling mimic-style pranks on unsuspecting trainers across Paldea. When defeated or captured, Gimmighoul drops Gimmighoul coins, which can also be found lying around on your travels across the region. You need 1000 of these Gimmighoul coins before Gimmighoul will evolve into Gholdengo on its next level up. It's a clear nod to Gholdengo's status as the 1000th Pokemon.
Gholdengo's Pokedex entry is also a testament to this amazing little guy being beloved by Game Freak. In Scarlet, at least, it reads:
Its body seems to be made up of 1,000 coins. This Pokémon gets along well with others and is quick to make friends with anybody.
What's more, the cover of its Pokedex entry is incredible: it shows him surfing on a skateboard made of coins.

We're huge fans of Gholdengo here. Congratulations, Gholdengo, on being the 1000th Pokémon. Can't wait to see what Game Freak will do for number 2000! [Editor's Note: Pokemon 2000... I liked that movie - Kat Bailey].

Escape From New York Reboot Coming From Scream Directors
The team behind Paramount's successful Scream reboot are reportedly targeting another dormant franchise: John Carpenter's Escape From New York.
Deadline reports that Radio Silence, which consists of filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Chad Villelle. Carpenter will serve as the film's executive producer.
No word on the reboot's approach, nor who will take on Kurt Russell's role as Snake Plissken, who serves as the eyepatch-wearing protagonist of both Escape from New York and Escape from LA. The reboot is said to be currently looking for writers.
First released in 1981, Escape from New York imagines a world circa 1997 in which Manhatten has been converted into a giant maximum security prison.
We wrote of the film in 2012, "It's hard for me to diss a film I cherished in my youth, but it's filled with too many 80's era staples (punker street toughs, synthesizer music, and the "far seeing" future of the late 90's) to resonate now."
In the meantime, Radio Silence are preparing to release the untitled sequel to their Scream reboot, which will see Courteney Cox among other reprise their roles. It will be out March 10, 2023.

Elon Musk is Already Thinking About Stepping Away From Twitter
Despite having just taken the reins of the social media company and enacting seismic changes, Elon Musk says he expects to reduce his time at Twitter and find a new CEO.
According to reports at Reuters and elsewhere, Musk told a Delaware judge that he plans to “reduce my time at Twitter and find somebody else to run Twitter over time.” This is something he has told investors as well, offering that his tenure as Twitter CEO is only temporary.
Since taking over the social media website after acquiring it for $44 billion, Musk has made headlines for each new business move including mass layoffs and prioritizing Twitter Blue which now comes with a verified check mark for subscribers.
These moves have subsequently been followed-up with additional reports, such as the inefficient way in which Twitter employees were informed of their layoff, and how the Twitter Blue feature was immediately used to impersonate official Twitter accounts for jokes.
Musk actually says he doesn’t want to be CEO of any company, despite being CEO of several. This includes his companies like Tesla and SpaceX. But in both cases, Musk told the judge that he views his role as someone who facilitates new technology, whereas the CEO title is more of a business role.
Musk was testifying on whether Tesla’s board acted appropriately when handing Musk a $52 billion pay package.

Twitter Closes All Of Its Office Buildings as Employees Resign En Masse
Hundreds of Twitter employees have resigned en masse following Elon Musk's ultimatum that they commit to what he has dubbed a "hardcore Twitter 2.0."
The employees had until 2pm PT on Thursday to select "yes" on a Google Form to the question of whether they wanted to stay at Twitter, according to reports by The Verge and New York Times among others. Instead, employees began posting farewell messages to what has been described as an avalanche of salute emojis.
Employees were previously told they could sign on for Twitter's "exciting journey" or take severance and "transition away" from the company.
As the resignations poured in, tech journalist Zoë Schiffer reported that Twitter had closed all of its office buildings and suspended badge access. Shiffer reports that Musk and his leadership team are "terrified" that employees will attempt to sabotage the company, and that they are still trying to work out which employees they need to cut access for.
According to Schiffer, the offices will reopen on November 21.
Twitter has been racked by departures and layoffs ever since Musk purchased the company less than a month ago. It has coincided with a diastrous rollout for the new Twitter Blue verification subscription strategy, which has been updated and amended multiple times.
NEW: Twitter just alerted employees that effective immediately, all office buildings are temporarily closed and badge access is suspended. No details given as to why.
— Zoë Schiffer (@ZoeSchiffer) November 17, 2022
Meanwhile, Twitter seems dangerously close to running afoul of the Federal Trade Commission [FTC}. Earlier today, seven Democratic senators sent a letter to the agency asking it to investigate whether Twitter had violated its consumer privacy agreement.
With more than half of Twitter's 7,500 member workforce having resigned or been fired, it's unclear whether the platform will be able to recover.
“I’m not pressing the button,” an employee was reported by The Verge to have posted in Slack. “My watch ends with Twitter 1.0. I do not wish to be part of Twitter 2.0”
You can read our full timeline of Musk's Twitter buyout and what has happened since right here.
