Robert Pattinson #TheBatman Trailer features twist on Nirvana’s “Something in the Way”
As soon as I heard the song on the trailer I thought – wow this is reminiscent of Nirvana. I had never heard this version before. PopSugar gives us the following background:
The song playing in the trailer is a version of Nirvana’s “Something in the Way,” but it’s not quite the track you’re probably used to hearing. Originally, “Something in the Way” was the last song on the band’s breakout album, Nevermind, in 1991, and while it never became a gigantic hit single, it’s had a long life and a fair bit of popularity over the past 30 years. In its original form, it’s a softer, more stripped-down song, featuring acoustic guitar and even a bit of cello.
For the trailer, however, someone — presumably the film’s composer, Michael Giacchino, … tweaked and rearranged the classic song to better suit an introduction to this particularly dark and corrupt Gotham. This version of the song is epic, with big orchestral swells and heavy, thudding percussion, matching the dark and sinister vibe of the first glimpse of this Batman.
The song itself is pretty bleak on its own, painting a picture of brutal struggles to survive. “Underneath the bridge / The tarp has sprung a leak / And the animals I’ve trapped / Have all become my pets / And I’m living off of grass,” the main verse goes.
