Also, last call to see Batman & Robin. Because, you know...
Here's a list of all the movies and TV shows leaving Netflix in November...
Leaving November 1st
Grant Morrison Continues Shaping DC’s Multiverse
Writer Grant Morrison recently wrapped up one of his most ambitious superhero comics yet with The Multiversity - a series of interconnected but standalone comics that explored and defined the makeup of DC's modern multiverse. Starting today, that series is now available in a Deluxe Edition hardcover collection. And even though Morrison is no longer writing any ongoing titles for DC, he's still keeping busy thanks to upcoming graphic novels like Wonder Woman: Earth One, Batman: Black and White and a Flash-themed Multiversity spinoff.

Introducing Rainbow Six Siege’s Single-Player Mode
Rainbow Six Siege is primarily a multiplayer game, but it does have a handful of single-player missions called Situations you’re able to enjoy alone, at your own pace. It's by no means a campaign, like kind we saw in Rainbow Six Vegas, but at least there's something here for people who prefer to go lone wolf.
There were five in the version of Siege we played, plus an extra one which was locked, but there will be 11 in the final game. They serve as helpful introductions to the different operators you’re able to use in multiplayer, and also highlight some of the gameplay mechanics such as breaching and defending in live-fire combat situations.
In Tubular Assault, a VIP jet has been taken over by terrorists and you’ve got to flush out the bad guys. FBI agent Ash carries a breaching charge launcher, which is fantastic as clearing out a room packed with enemies – fire the charge at the wall, and listen to the wails of the downed terrorists on the other side. The drone is also extremely useful here, enabling you to mark the locations of the targets rather than going in blind.

What Part of BTTF’s 2015 Are You Bummed We Didn’t Get?
Great Scott! Today, October 21, 2015, is Back to the Future Day -- the day that Marty McFly arrived in the future in Back to the Future II.
While we're getting a limited edition of Pepsi Perfect and the Chicago Cubs are on a quest to win the World Series, much of what the movie depicted 2015 to be like never came to pass.

Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries developer Grin disbanded in August, and requested bankruptcy, leaving Kickstarter backers out in the cold.

Kurt Russell on the Brutal Horror of Bone Tomahawk
Much like Justin Timberlake brought sexy back in 2006, Kurt Russell is bringing the western back in 2015. This week cowboy v cannibals horror western Bone Tomahawk hits U.S. screens (you can check out our review here), while at the turn of the year he plays a ruthless bounty hunter in Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight. So we called Kurt up to talk about both projects, and to ask about his own favourite western.
IGN: Was Bone Tomahawk as much fun to make as it is to watch?
Kurt Russell: It was a good time. It was very difficult – it was tough and challenging because there wasn’t a lot of money. You’ve got to be creative, you’ve got to be inventive. But it was a wonderful script. I was very taken by the sparse nature of it, and also how it captured how differently people lived 150, 120 years ago. The men especially. They are very different from the men of now. I liked the culture clash between these two worlds.
