new batman movie

a new (and very dark looking again) batman movie is on the way, and as many may know, its going to retell the joker story (more closely to the comic i believe).
brings to mind the prince soundtrack of the original, would be great to have another soundtrack by prince to this one too...but he'd have to make the music far darker sounding; would be interesting to see him take on a different task from what he made back in the 80s.

Wouldn't you love to love me?

After watching Batman Begins and assuming that The Dark Knight will take on a similar, if not even darker tone, then there's no way on earth Prince should do the soundtrack. His music simply wouldn't fit in with the current Batman vibe and I think it would cheapen the movie.

If in doubt, lob it out!

He should contribute to the soundtrack, but not do the whole thing.

Comic book franchises do well when they bring back people from before (even musicians). Smallville has had guest appearances by almost everyone from the previous movies/shows.

Of course, I do not think anything from 1989 would work today . . . but 1 song of dark material from Prince (even if it was instrumental) would be cool.

If I remember correctly though, Batman Begins only had a score - not a soundtrack.

thats the thing though, it would be very interesting to see prince do a darker piece of work, such as the film score (or a contribution to it as mentioned). would be a nice change of direction for him musically, a good challenge for him to branch out yet again.

I believe that Prince would be fantastic for writing music for that Soundtrack...and Prince really did look adorable in, "Partyman." As the Joker, Jr.

Dance With The Devil (the outtake from the 1989 Batman sessions) might actually fit in pretty well.

I'd got quite the opposite impression actually , especially as the new Joker looks less like the comic book version , just a white face , not overall body bleaching , whereas Tim Burton's origin of how The Joker was made is pretty much exactly how it happened in the original comics . Sure his backstory was different but the falling into a vat of chemicals is how The Joker was born , thats always been understood and accepted .

yeah, but burton messed up the whole arc when he made the joker bruce's parents killer...at least nolan's stays more true 2 the dark knight cannon.
