WHEN PRINCE did 1 of 2 BATMAN ALBUMS

His style, in both the musical and aesthetic sense, is timeless and unique to his unwavering sense of the self and fluidity. Across all his masterpieces such as 1999 or Purple Rain, it is clear that Prince’s dynamic world was created by his imagination, which cherrypicked from across the spectrum of popular culture when cultivating this iconic oeuvre.
It transpires that his first foray into music was inspired by one of the most famous imaginary worlds in popular culture, that of the DC Comics hero Batman. This revelation makes a lot of sense, as none of us are likely to forget that Prince wrote the soundtrack album for Tim Burton’s 1989 adaptation. Prince was a big fan of the 1966 Batman TV series starring Adam West, and its timeless theme tune was the first melody the Minneapolis native ever played on the piano, his first dalliance with music.
When Warner Bros. needed a soundtrack for a movie that pit a mysterious eccentric with a cape against his charismatically devilish archenemy. Luckily for the studio, there was a musician who knew what it was like to be both: Prince.
“I said, ‘You, the Bat, Batman,’” recalls his creative partner Albert Magnoli, the director of Purple Rain. “And he went, ‘Cool.’”
The album he made to accompany Batman helped turn a summer extravaganza into a slow-burning phenomenon. Though it bore little resemblance to a typical tentpole soundtrack, the record spent six weeks atop the Billboard chart. The lead single, “Batdance,” is a six-minute mashup of various song parts and lines of dialogue sampled from the movie. It was Prince’s first no. 1 single since 1986’s “Kiss.”

Watching your work has really highlighted for me just how massive an undertaking the proposed Netflix documentary series about Prince would be. Even if they allowed it to be 12 hours long, there’s no way you could do justice to this man in only 12 hours. There’s so much ground to cover, so many stories to tell, so many songs, so many concerts, so many girlfriends, so many contradictions, so many radical ideas, so many alter-egos, so many proposed movies and albums that were never finished or that no one has ever seen or heard. He contained multitudes.

Interesting. I was...physically in the middle of them. For an instant. I waited on them at a swank MPLS hotel. Will never forget the mâitre d’ saying, “uh, Miles, Prince will be in your section. Oh, and Miles, he’ll be dining with Kim Basinger.” So effectively, my musical/cultural/sexual God and one of the biggest movie stars in the world. I had an out of body experience for the next hour. Ps: he had spinach soup (maybe it was carrot, again, I was gone). Duane sat shotgun at a nearby table, paid with an AMEX Black card, Prince Rogers Nelson. Life.

[@GlobalMiles]

One minor addendum: when consulting on Kim’s wine selection (“I want a white wine, but not too yellow.”), I as usual leaned in to the customer as a kind of trusted consultant. However, this time, I was in a detached state where, I kept leaning in, and leaning in, and...leaning in to the point my face was not more than about 4” from hers. I could see it happening but was unable to manipulate my facilities as normal. Hilarious.

It’s fascinating because he was working on an early more interesting musical version of graffiti Bridge I think he was already planning out something to do with the Dawn, and creating what would’ve been one very cool interesting fun and a continuance of love sexy spiritual transcendence and positive work with rave on to the joy fantastic. Excuse the grammar and misspellings I use voice to text! An interesting fact toyed was that after prince died Stephen Park shared an early drawing stage composite work of the album cover. In a perfect purple world we’re all our wishes come true he would be hired by the estate to finish that album cover and then release a special edition of the originally planned unreleased 1989 rave.

Like all of Prince's music since 1977, Batman was Prince's masterpiece, he made that soundtrack hardcore Minneapolis Sound, the next soundtrack Gariffi Bridge, was blazing hot and the movie, now Purple Rain is overplayed these days cause this what so called Prince Friends are hooked on there's much more to Prince than Purple Rain, glad that Batman is covered now, have an deluxe version of it with cuts that are rare, 90s Prince was stripped down and raw hardcore funk, 2000s Prince was Hardcore Funk soldier, now what we have is no one to really represent Hardcore Funk, welcome to the dawn, R.I.P.= Prince

How much was he compensated for the movie soundtrack?

His manager Bob Cavallo worked out a comprehensive deal that encompassed the publishing and the film rights.

Prince was able to secure back end rights on the films profits. It was a windfall bro.
