Which Nirvana song appears on the soundtrack of the film The Batman?

“Something in the Way” appears on the soundtrack of the film The Batman.

The Nirvana song is heard prominently in the 2022 superhero film directed by Matt Reeves. Its brooding mood helped shape the movie’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne, and the track appears in the film’s opening and closing musical framework.

“Something in the Way” was originally released on Nirvana’s 1991 album Nevermind. The song closes that album after the hidden track “Endless, Nameless” on many editions. Its sparse arrangement and bleak lyrics differ from the louder singles that made Nevermind famous.

The Batman’s use of the song introduced it to many listeners who knew Nirvana mainly through tracks such as “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” The film’s score was composed by Michael Giacchino, while the Nirvana recording remained a separate licensed song in the soundtrack.
