Batman (1989) Soundtrack Appreciation

[mr x]

He started to open it up trough tidal and Apple Music but I can see his estate being a lot more willing to let that go in order to keep building his legacy

I seen someone tweet to tidal "you guys should make his stuff free for a while so ppl can listen."

Bruh, that goes against the whole reason he fukked with tidal to begin with.

it's not a party, the joker is exploiting the greed of the people to draw them in for a mass murder.

and they're falling for it.

Yes and Joker style he does in the guise of a party giving away money making it seem like a good time even though he has a sinister intentions

tat's why the character is called the joker, it's not that hard to figure out man, you are going nowhere with this

Balloons, dancing, and you say it's not a party, okay lmao

One track I love that didnt make the cut was "Dance with the Devil" it was dark and scary but it somehow had this funky vibe to it like gangsta rap, I wonder if Michael started any tracks he had in mind for the soundtrack, his cover of "Come Together" would have fit perfectly, I remember i made a tribute vid with that track and it fit perfectly

but yeah i understand it was princes project from the get go not michael jacksons and burton was pissed about the idea but to me its just like why not?

Yeah cats don't get it. An entire generation that thinks music and movies should be free

It's wild that he was smashing Kim Basinger during this time.

they fukked during the scandalous sex suite recordings, they said they found a jar of honey and a sticky keyboard in the studio after they were done

Elfman and Prince clashed nicely on this soundtrack


It was said In the workprint versions of batman burton used 1999 and baby ima star for the 2 key joker scenes, he asked permission to use the songs, instead prince jumped on board and provided an entire album instead

Prince was def. a fan of the comics since he had his own limited comic series afterword and he commisioned a cover from batman artist for the killing joke Brian Bolland

And the funny thing about that Marty is nobody in there right mind would go to work for hours and not want a check yet they want everything entertainment wise for free. It's backwards. Prince fought tooth and nail to get rights he would not want his music given out for free unless he agreed to that.

I used that same argument when I was talking to my boy about it. If you went to your job for and they decided not to pay you for it would you be cool? Hell no.

Why didnt MIKE have a Star Wars album as a response?
