Batman is the eleventh studio album by American recording artist Prince and the soundtrack album for the movie of the same name. It was released on June 20, 1989, by Warner Bros. Records.[1] As a Warner Bros. stablemate, Prince's involvement in the soundtrack was designed to leverage the media company's contract bound talent as well as fulfill the artist's need for a commercial revival. The result was yet another multi platinum successful cross media enterprise by Warner Bros., in the vein of Purple Rain.
