Nirvana's "Something In The Way" has seen a massive spike in streaming listenership on Spotify following its inclusion in The Batman. After numerous delays due to COVID-19, Matt Reeves' The Batman has finally been released in theaters. Starring Robert Pattinson as the titular hero, the movie features a darker and grittier approach to Gotham City and the Caped Crusader. Critics and audiences alike are praising The Batman for its more personal exploration of Batman as a character, as well as the cinematography and Michael Giacchino's score.
In addition to Giacchino's haunting and propulsive score, The Batman also features Nirvana's "Something In The Way" on two occasions during the movie. The movie has evidently inspired viewers to listen to the song outside of the film, with Spotify reporting a 1200% increase in streams on their platform. In addition to appearing twice in the movie itself, "Something In The Way" is also featured in one of The Batman's trailers. Check out Spotify's Batman-themed celebration tweet below:

While information is not available for other streaming platforms like Apple Music or Amazon Music, it's reasonable to assume that the song has seen similar bumps in listenership on those platforms as well. "Something In The Way" was originally featured on Nirvana's Nevermind album, but the version featured in The Batman is the remastered version. The song was included in the Nevermind (30th Anniversary Super Deluxe) edition, which features remasters of all the album's original songs as well as a number of live performance recordings. The Batman is now playing in theaters.
