The first trailer for Warner Bros.’ highly anticipated reboot “The Batman” was downright chilling as it introduced Robert Pattinson’s take on the Caped Crusader with a gloomy, detective-infused story. But the teaser also featured something no other Batman film had showcased before: a Nirvana song.
Indeed, if you’re wondering what the song in “The Batman” is, it’s Nirvana’s “Something in the Way,” but there’s a deeper reasoning for why this particular song appears in the film.
The song, written by Kurt Cobain, appears on Nirvana’s second album “Nevermind” which was released in 1991. But it also gained prominence after a live version of the song appeared on the 1994 album “MTV Unplugged in New York” despite being cut from the initial broadcast of Nirvana’s iconic appearance on the show.
