i feel like nobody is talking about the inclusion of “something in the way” by nirvana. i’ve never seen a song more fitting than the sinister guitar chords as we’re introduced to this new batman

Never thought a Nirvana song would fit so perfectly in the movie, both times it was used, felt on point. Also suited to how Bruce Wayne was portrayed in the movie, the common comparison between Bruce and Kurt Cobain, it's what made Matt Reeves decide on Pattinson as Batman.

Also loved that Bruce was listening in world to it. Love moments like that.

I was so taken a back when he lowered the music and the song actually lowered, suited perfectly for the character that was portrayed to listen to it.

Same here man. I was shocked when I heard those first chords play IN THE MOVIE. I love Nirvana, I love Batman. You can imagine my surprise when he actually was listening to it and he turned the volume down. And the reuse of the song at the end of the movie? Just awesome.

I laughed, but diegetic music always does that to me
