Does anyone else regret the use of Prince songs in Tim Burton's Batman? (1989)

*raises hand*

"Yes! Was he the guy whod id music for all the joker ddancing? That sucked u the movie...

it match the theme. I like it.

I enjoyed them.

Especially when Joker raided the museum.

with joker...u almost HAD to have a corny funky song....wouldn't be the same without one

Just for fun i added the song "Our House", by the group Madness, to the museum scene and it fits almost perfectly. The same thing works for the song " It must be love" during the Joker parade scene. this song is also by Madness.

museum scene where he was just standing on one leg and sticking his other leg out was hilarious

also during the parade scene where he was jigging along was classic

"hubba hubba hubba, money money money, who do you trust?!!!!"

giving the people what they want ($$$) and then delightfully massacring them a la Joker's sadistic way....awesome

Exactly.

He went crazy with the music

Now THAT scene was ood, just the museum dance pissed me off...

that was one of the best parts in the movie. He was improving the art, Than Bob try to slash one pic, and Joker stops him.

Bob, let it be, I kinda of like this one.

LL, where Joker kills Bob is the best bit...

I loved that part 2.

"Why didnt some one tell me he had, one of thsos things???"

"Bob, Gun."

Classic!

No... imo its exactly the kind of music the joker needed in the movie... suited the scenes they were used in incredibly well imo...

Pah, I guess superman fans wouldnt appreciate the Joker's humour is darker, creeper, more homicidal than vandalism!

I hope you were kidding...

the joker is playful when he's in a good mood... thats whats so great about him, he can go from the depths of madness into acting like a petulant child... the gallery scene showed that imo...

yep it did indeed.

I know, but he just didn't feel like THE Joker to me... oh, he was good, but it's just he didn't have the mad laugh! Mark hamill, we need you!

I do because it horribly outdates the movie. If those songs were removed, the way the sets looked and the actors dressed would still transcend today. But everytime any of Prince's songs play one is instantly reminded of the cheesy 80's. It was completely wise of Burton to just rely on Elfman for Batman Returns. Heck, even Batman Forever, with it's U2 and Seal songs, already seems outdated.

I've never even HEARD of Seal!

No, I thought that it was a good scene.

I LOATHED it...

Actually I retract a little of my Prince retaliation. He did write some of the orchestral themes in Danny Elfman's score, particularly during the Bruce and Vicki scenes, so Prince did do some good as I'm a big fan of the Batman score.

Indeed, that OWNED!

YES. PRINCE WAS VERY POPULAR BACK THEN AND I BELIEVE THAT HE THOUGHT THE MOVIE WAS GOING TO BE SIMILAR TO THE 1960S TV SERIES AND HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS SINCE IT WAS HIS INTENTION TO SCORE THE WHOLE MOVIE BEFORE TIM BURTON SHOT HIM DOWN AND SAID DANNY ELFMAN WAS SCORING THE MOVIE UNTIL WARNER BROTHERS PUSHED HIM TO FIT HIM IN WITH THE JOKERS MUSIC WHICH IS PRETTY FITTING BUT NOT FOR THIS MOVIE. I DONT LIKE HOW HE STARTED THIS TREND THAT CARRIED OVER TO BATMAN RETURNS AND IF HE WAS TRULY COMMITED HE SHOULD HAVE SCORED THE THEME WHEN BRUCE WAYNE AND SELINA MET AT THE BALL INSTEAD OF THAT SUPER FREAK RICK JAMES SHIT.

I WOULDNT BE AS DISGUSTED IF HE RETURNED.

What...?
