"Batman" question

I have a special edition of the Batman album that comes in this black tin (but they call it a Batcan. I don't know why), and in the booklet, on the songs, it says "Lead Vocal by _____" before the lyrics, for example, on "The Future" and "Scandalous" it says "Lead Vocal by Batman", and on songs like "The Electric Chair", "Partyman" and "Trust" it says "Lead Vocal by The Joker". What does this mean? I don't really understand this.

Darker songs sung by the Joker, the other ones by Batman.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Prince corresponded the songs to the characters in the movie.
You'll also notice Bruce Wayne sings Vicki Waiting and Vicki Vale sings Lemon Crush

And Arms of Orion is a duet between Vicki and Bruce.
Batdance is all the charaters on the track including Prince playing a character he created called Gemini who is a split between the Joker and Batman. If you ever see the Batdance video you will understand.

Damn! Did I confuse you eek . I'm sorry. biggrin
