About this album

Batman™ shows Prince turning a studio soundtrack into a slick, characterful pop statement. Released in 1989 for Tim Burton’s blockbuster film, it pairs his Minneapolis Sound funk with pop-rock hooks and theatrical flair, anchored by the era-defining hit Batdance. Rather than serving as simple background music, the album helped define the film’s cultural footprint and showed how fully Prince could fuse commercial crossover with eccentric invention. Tracks such as Partyman, Scandalous and The Arms Of Orion reveal the breadth of his writing across swagger, romance and moody sensuality, making the soundtrack one of his most distinctive late-1980s releases.
