I noticed that a few fans were introduced to Prince by Batman. That was my first introduction to the man. I was wondering how many other fans first heard Prince in the Batman movie.

Me.

I'd heard Prince before in passing (Alphabet St. and things like U Got The Look, which was used on a Magnum P.I. trailer in the UK), but I was very into comic books, and bought the Batman album. When I saw the singles, I wanted the b-sides too. Before I'd even bought them all, though, Graffiti Bridge and Diamonds And Pearls were out, and I was shocked by how prolific this guy was. After that, it's all history...

Me too, into comics/batman it's just a natural progression - that collecting bug thing! getting all the singles/12" from Batman, then all the albums, then all the protege albums then the boots! it's an addiction - just like comics were/are for me!

Kind of ...

Saw Lovesexy Live in 88 and Purple Rain just before Batman - this was my first album purchased, though.

Wish that I could have seen Lovesexy Live

Batman is the first P album I bought, though I had a tape of Diamonds and Pearls for a long time...but yeah, seeing Batman made me first notice P... I sorta missed him when Purple Rain came out...guess I was too young, even though I'm 25 now.

Me for sure.

My Brother was into Prince befire me and I was always slagging him off, calling him Gay and stuff- I was 15 my brither was older than me and this kind of behaviour was sort of my job- when Batman got involved so did I! I was into Batman and Judge Dredd at the the time.

My Brother had alot of the albums but I bought my own.

I've heard Prince on the radio for as long as I can remember (I Wanna Be Your Lover was the first I heard of him), but it was around the time of Batman that I saw him first - The Nude Tour.
