It is directed by Matt Reeves and stars Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, with Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell. It’s a tune that got right to the heart of the filmmaker’s vision for the character – one that proved pivotal in shaping Robert Pattinson’s take on Bruce Wayne, the rich orphan who dons the cowl and shakes down Gotham’s criminal underworld. The Batman is a 2022 superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Sometimes such song choices are a case of just finding the right mood, or a specific connection with the lyrics – but in the case of Matt Reeves’ new take on DC’s Caped Crusader, there was a much more specific reason behind it. When the very first trailer for The Batman arrived in August 2020, it came with a surprising bit of soundtracking – an orchestral, trailer-music-ified version of ‘Something In The Way’ by Nirvana.
