Nirvana’s ‘Something In The Way’ have surged following its inclusion in The Batman.The deep cut from Nirvana’s classic 1991 album ‘Nevermind’ has surged on steaming platforms according to initial reports from MRC Data (via Billboard).The song appears twice in the film and also appeared in trailers leading up to the film’s release.According to the figures from MRC, ‘Something In The Way’ earned 3.1million on-demand official US streams in the first four days following the film’s release on March 4, an increase of 372,000 from the previous four days – or a 734 per cent increase.Between March 6-7, the song racked up 880,000 streams and then rose to 1.5million the following day. By March 8, the song had tallied 1.6million streams.The Batman director and writer Matt Reeves has explained how Robert Pattinson’s character was inspired by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain last year.Speaking about the inclusion of the song to Empire back in December, Reeves said: “That’s when it came to me that, rather than make Bruce Wayne the playboy version we’ve seen before, there’s another version who had gone through a great tragedy and become a recluse.“So I started making this connection to Gus Van Sant’s Last Days, and the idea of this fictionalised version of Kurt Cobain being in this kind of decaying manor.” He then discussed how he believed Robert Pattinson was perfect for the part after witnessing his performance in 2017 film Good Time.He said: “In that movie you could really feel his vulnerability and desperation, but you could also feel his power.

Kanye West has shared his praise for The Batman, calling one scene in particular “beautiful”.The rapper and producer, who legally changed his name to Ye last year, took to Instagram to compliment Matt Reeves’ new DC film starring Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz.“Saw Batman yesterday[.] The upside down scene when the Penguin car flipped over was beautiful love the whole film Oh and when Zoe threw in the privilege bar,” Ye wrote on Instagram.Take a look at the post here:A post shared by ye (@kanyewest)In a four-star review of The Batman, NME wrote: “Director Matt Reeves has mixed up gritty mob drama with film-noir detective thriller – and thanks to [Paul] Dano’s ultra-creepy villain, some psychological horror too.“Most of the time it comes off brilliantly. Pattinson plays him with a dour fanaticism that only occasionally topples over into parody.”Elsewhere, a fan recently pranked a screening of The Batman in Austin by releasing a live bat in the auditorium.“I’m at the Batman movie and there are real bats in the theatre,” one Twitter user who was at the screening in question tweeted.Another person shared their own footage and wrote: “I was there.

Seems like this Catwoman got the last laugh.

Jon Burlingame editorMichael Giacchino’s dark symphony for “The Batman” — from his brooding theme for Bruce Wayne to children’s choir for the Riddler and noirish stylings for Catwoman — is the year’s most talked-about score and among his most ambitious yet.When Warner’s WaterTower label released a “Batman” track in late January, it racked up an astounding 2.3 million views on YouTube — the highest global streaming engagement the label had ever seen for pre-release from a score album. And interest has only grown in the weeks since the subsequent teasings of more Giacchino music and Friday’s release of the movie.“Michael brought soul, he brought dread, he brought all of the emotional and atmospheric undercurrents that a movie like this requires,” director Matt Reeves tells Variety.

The Dark Knight Rises for being too “urban”.The singer and actor, who plays Selina Kyle aka Catwoman in The Batman, discussed her early acting career rejections when she opened up about attempting to audition for director Christopher Nolan’s third Batman film.Speaking to the Observer, Kravitz said she was turned down after being labelled too “urban” for an unspecified role.“I don’t know if it came directly from Chris Nolan,” Kravitz said. “I think it was probably a casting director of some kind, or a casting director’s assistant… Being a woman of colour and being an actor and being told at that time I wasn’t able to read because of the colour of my skin, and the word urban being thrown around like that, that was what was really hard about that moment.”Speaking about being cast in The Batman from director Matt Reeves, Kravitz added: “It was crazy.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter“The Batman” landed a bigger opening weekend than Warner Bros., the studio behind the comic book adventure, initially expected.The latest superhero epic, starring Robert Pattinson as an exceptionally moody Caped Crusader, collected $134 million in North American theaters over the weekend, above Sunday’s estimates of $128.5 million.Those ticket sales rank as the best opening weekend of 2022, as well as only the second pandemic-era movie to cross the $100 million mark in a single weekend following “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”The reason behind the 4% bump in Monday’s final tally is because “The Batman” had a better-than-expected turnout on Sunday, bringing in $34.1 million. That’s more than some pandemic-era releases managed to earn in their entire theatrical runs.

Following AMC CEO Adam Aron’s announcement about hiking tickets for Warner Bros.’ The Batman over the weekend and the pic’s $128M+ opening, the circuit boss celebrated by posting a Tweet of Robert Pattinson’s Batman looking up at a dollar signal in the sky.

The Batman was released to cinemas on March 4, and has been met with rave reviews after its opening weekend.

“The Batman” is a bona fide success, with critics and audiences alike raving about director Matt Reeves and star Robert Pattinson’s new vision for the Caped Crusader. But one aspect the fans are specifically praising – which is somewhat atypical for comic book movies – is the cinematography.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterIf you went to the movies over the weekend, you may have shelled out a little extra to see “The Batman.”In a surprising break from industry standard, AMC Entertainment, the biggest theater chain, boldly announced plans to charge customers about $1 to $2 more for tickets to “The Batman” compared to other movies playing at the same time. It is not clear how the experiment, a version of variable pricing, paid off because AMC did not break down ticket sales versus attendance levels in any of its 620 domestic theaters.But AMC was spot-on about the popularity of Robert Pattinson’s take on the Caped Crusader in “The Batman.” The Warner Bros.

first place at the box office, raking in $128.5 million on its opening weekend — more than any other movie this year.The three-hour superhero reboot, staring Robert Pattinson as Gotham’s brooding caped crusader, is the second pandemic-era flick to earn more than $100 million in a single weekend, according to Variety.The Warner Bros. film, which also features Zoë Kravitz as an exceptionally foxy Catwoman, beat out the Mark Wahlberg treasure-hunt flick “Uncharted” for the top spot.“It’s fun to see the public really embrace the movie,” Jeff Goldstein, president of domestic distribution at Warner Bros., told the entertainment news outlet.

Robert Pattinson is reflecting on what happened when he tested positive for COVID early into filming back in September of 2020.

Bill Murray were once being lined up to play Batman and Robin in a film by director Ivan Reitman, Murray has said.Reitman was reportedly eyeing up the pair to take on the roles of the Dynamic Duo in a movie that ended up never coming to fruition.“I talked to Eddie Murphy about it, and Eddie wanted to play Batman,” Murray told Yahoo Entertainment. “That’s as far as that conversation went.”Asked if he would have been happy to play Robin with Murphy in the role of the Caped Crusader, Murray replied: “I don’t wanna be the Boy Wonder to anybody. Maybe much earlier when I was a boy.

Move over Robert Pattinson, Keanu Reeves is the latest caped crusader.

But what is more impressive: it’s only the second pandemic-era movie to cross the $100 million mark in a single weekend, a feat first achieved by “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which launched last December to a historic $260 million.Thanks to positive reviews, strong reception from ticket buyers and high levels of intrigue to see Pattinson’s moody take on the Caped Crusader, “The Batman” is shaping up to be a commercial winner for Warner Bros.

J. Kim Murphy The 2022 box office has its first juggernaut. After years of promotion and more than few delays due to COVID-19, “The Batman” finally hit movie theaters this weekend.

(CNN)In Batman lore, the police summon the hero by projecting a magnified Bat-signal across the night sky. That's a fitting metaphor for the character's much-debated history in movies, which has cast an unusually large shadow thanks to fans convinced, in their minds, precisely how the Dark Knight should be depicted.Created in 1939, Batman isn't the first superhero or even necessarily the best.

first trailer for Warner Bros.’ highly anticipated reboot “The Batman” was downright chilling as it introduced Robert Pattinson’s take on the Caped Crusader with a gloomy, detective-infused story. But the teaser also featured something no other Batman film had showcased before: a Nirvana song.Indeed, if you’re wondering what the song in “The Batman” is, it’s Nirvana’s “Something in the Way,” but there’s a deeper reasoning for why this particular song appears in the film.The song, written by Kurt Cobain, appears on Nirvana’s second album “Nevermind” which was released in 1991.

“The Batman” is now out in theaters and it is surely prompting strenuous debate.Is the tone too serious or should they have gone back to the Bat-nipples or pop art title cards that say “POW!”? Where does Robert Pattinson’s characterization of the Dark Knight fall amongst the various iterations of the character? And can you believe that that is Colin Farrell under all that make-up?There is also a question that we cannot go into without spoiling the “The Batman” ending, but that could illuminate where the character is headed (and who he’ll be facing off against).Huge spoilers for “The Batman” follow; if you haven’t watched yet, turn back now!By the end of “The Batman,” the Riddler (Paul Dano) has had his evil plot thwarted by the Batman (Robert Pattinson). While the Riddler managed to set off a series of bombs that allowed for a biblical tide of flood water to enter Gotham proper, his assassination attempt, enacted by a small army of Riddler-like trolls (internet trolls not actual trolls), ultimately failed as well, thanks to Batman’s heroism.

earning positive notice for his new take on the Batman character, but the actor says that while reaction to his initial casting as the Caped Crusader had its share of naysayers, it was nothing compared to the reaction when he was first cast in “Twilight.”“It was less aggressive than when I got cast in ‘Twilight,’ which is strange because no one even knew who I was,” Pattinson told Josh Horowitz of MTV News. “That was literally off one photo and people were like, ‘Absolutely not’ (laughs).”When Horowitz noted that the reaction to his Batman casting was mostly positive, he seemed befuddled as to why.

Seems like Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet are still navigating their separation.

Zoe Kravitz is revealing more details about her preparation to take on the coveted role of ‘Catwoman’ in the long awaited film ‘The Batman,’ explaining that she did everything she could to get into character, including “drinking milk from a bowl.”The 33-year-old star talked to Jimmy Fallon about some of the unusual methods she used to embody Selina Kyle, with the TV host looking surprised when he asked “You drank milk out of a bowl?” to which Zoe responded, “I’m method, dude!”The actress had previously detailed some other methods she used, including studying animals to understand their movements and portray Catwoman better on the big screen. “I watched a bunch of cat videos, feline videos, watching them fight,” she continued “I was so interested in the fact that you can’t read their faces at all, which is why I think people are kind of creeped out by them.”She also reflected on their changes in behavior, explaining that the film crew put her “in a room with a bunch of cats… but the cats didn’t care.

Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” includes a haunting cackle that has fans speculating about sequels with Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader — and which Gotham villains he might be up against.(Warning: This article contains spoilers for “The Batman.”)Listed in credits as “Unseen Arkham Prisoner” in the film, out Friday, Barry Keoghan played a fellow jailbird to Paul Dano’s The Riddler, who gets thrown in the slammer at Arkham Asylum.When Riddler asked who the mysterious convict hiding in the shadows of the next cell is, Keoghan cryptically responded, “Well, that’s the question.”And it was certainly the question on fans’ minds, with many speculating the “Dunkirk” actor’s brief cameo was The Joker, especially since his grinning face was largely hidden.Director Reeves was cryptic about who exactly Keoghan, 29, played, but alluded that viral speculation about The Joker sneak peek was correct.“He’s who you think he is,” Reeves told press last month, Insider reported. “I would say the thing about the movie is that it isn’t a Batman origin story, but it is the origin story of every rogues’ gallery character that you come across.
