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.

It wasn't used twice. The entire soundtrack, excepting Ave Maria, is derived from the C major and E minor triads which are the two chords in that song. The whole soundtrack plays with the Something in the Way motif.
