While it was rumored for months that HBO Max was considering a limited Penguin series starring Farrell, it’s now been made official and the show’s star couldn’t be any happier returning as one of Batman’s best villains.

Music by Peggy Gou, Bauuer, More Featured On “The Batman” Soundtrack
When the musical Bat-Signal appears, the eyes of Gotham turn to electronic music: Alesso, Peggy Gou, Baauer and more are all featured on the soundtrack for The Batman, now in theaters. In fact, even the film’s lead, Robert Pattinson, tried his hand at crafting ambient tracks during downtime on set—while wearing his Batsuit, no less. The music of Kevin Saunderson, Patrick Topping and Corvad, as well as of icons like Nirvana, Dean Martin and Al Martino, fills in the gaps where Pattinson’s music quite didn’t make the cut. “As a die hard [sic] Batman fan I can’t believe I have a song in the new movie,” added Alesso, who contributed “DARK” to the film.

Alesso Contributes Ominous Single to “The Batman” Soundtrack: Listen to “DARK”
Alesso‘s latest effort is music for cleaning up Gotham City’s streets. In theaters this weekend, The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, received a brooding new contribution from Alesso, aptly titled “DARK.” The Swedish superstar’s latest is an invigorating house track with the kind of eerily ominous atmosphere one might expect to encounter in the obscure alleyways home to DC Films’ famous night-crawling vigilante. Driving the groove is a punchy, triplet bassline marked by heavy distortion. The grungy synths set an energizing cadence capable of generating a generous rush of adrenaline. Recommended Articles At first glance it appears The Batman‘s filmmakers leaned heavily on dance music producers to help set the tone. In fact, th...
Zoë Kravitz’s Kitty Corset Dress Is a Cheeky Nod to Her Onscreen Character
