I think that's the reason why I secretly always was a bit disappointed by that movie.

I mean, I had come off of reading Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum and I wanted the movie to have the same kind of demented, modern sensibility. I was let down that it ended up not having that madcap energy, and especially that they used a conventional Hollywood symphonic score (even though it's one that became iconic in its own right). I thought Prince's music was going to actually be the movie SCORE... That would have been bad ass.
