The End is the Beginning is the End – Smashing Pumpkins from Batman & Robin

“The End is the Beginning is the End” by Smashing Pumpkins remains one of the coolest soundtrack songs ever to exist because, even though it didn't please the masses at the time of its release, it did win a Grammy. Smashing Pumpkins wrote the song specifically for Batman. If you ask us, their unique and ahead-of-its-time sound would probably be better suited to Christian Bale's darker Batman and less so to George Clooney's cartoony one. The song is dark and jarring relying heavily on loud, shocking guitars. If you're paying attention you'll catch the equally despondent lyrics fitting to Gotham City and Batman, "I am kremlin king of angels avenged / To destroy the end / Is it bright where you are /Have the people changed." A slowed down version of this song was also in Watchmen.
