I'm looking for the early Batman trailer theat features "We Got The Power". Obviously I'm not requestiong it from anyone...

Does this appear on any bootleg? Or on the internet in general? I've searched everywhere for it, so I wonder if I should bother continuing.

Oh man.. I remember seeing that at one point..

never heard of the song

Was it officially aired in theatres or on TV at some point or is it absolutely unreleased?

I have the audio snippet from the trailer. That to me indicates the video portion is circulating too.

We Got The Power is an unreleased track recorded on 15 October, 1988 at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (during a day of on the Lovesexy Tour, between shows in Atlanta, GA and Greensboro, NC). The song contains a robotic-sounding countdown that was later used on Live 4 Love (and was used as an intro to Controversy on the Lovesexy Tour a week after We Got The Power was recorded). It was included on a 27 October, 1988, configuration of Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic, but was not included on the late 1988 / early 1989 configuration. It was briefly considered for use on the Batman album, and was used in the background of an early unreleased trailer for the Batman movie. The chant of "hey, we got the power, oh, we got the soul, hey we got the sho'nuff get off to make the devil go go" was used in Batdance. Similarly, the chant "hey, we got the power, oh, we got the soul" was used in Carmen Electra's Power From Above. The track mentions some of Prince's band members from the time; "Junior" (Levi Seacer, Jr.) and "Doctor" (Dr. Fink), and mentions "an angel" for a drummer (Sheila E.'s name in the original Graffiti Bridge movie script was "Angel"), which may be a reason the track wasn't used once the group disbanded. Additionally, Prince refers to the unreleased track The Grand Progression by asking "is the progression grand?" (he refers to The Grand Progression similarly in F.U.N.K.). The track remains unreleased. - PrinceVault

Thanks a lot
