Apple has a classical music app you’ve probably never heard of, and just purchased a record label to support it

Apple says it now has the most classical music of any streaming service

Amazon Music, Spotify, or Apple Music — whether you're grinding through your work commute or unwinding in your safe space at home, music is a part of that, and your favored streaming app is how you listen to it.

Explosive New Trailer for ‘The Batman’ Goes From Frisky to Fiery

Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle in The Batman.

There are only so many stories that Batman fits into, right? Actually, with its art deco, industrial setting, there are any number of social ills and political spills to feed an endless line of narratives. From Depression-era roots to current hollowed-out industrial cores, the scene remains the same for any number of stubbled actors looking to play the brooding Bat. And with only a couple of noted stumbles, Warner Bros.' Batman franchise holds up a high standard. The studio will look again look to the Dark Knight with the latest entry, The Batman.
