Interesting thing about the soundtrack is Prince used dialogue from the workprint, so it's not the ADR featured in the actual film. I'm a Prince fan like no other.

Then you should know that 200 Balloons is on the Batdance single.

So, will this be a new disc, or the same as the previous one with yet another different packaging?

No one knows for sure, but I'm guessing same disc with different packaging.

Yes, I didn't say it was unreleased. I just said it would be cool to have an expanded version. They should also include the original version of "Vicky's Waiting" called "Anna's Waiting" and the unreleased "Batman Theme" which was originally a track called "(19) Jailbait".

I'm super excited for the 66 Batman series to be released, and I can't wait, but I also think that, because it's such a monumental release, this has sort of been overshadowed. Knowing WB and their reputation for rehashing, though, it's most likely with good reason. Nevertheless, it'd be awesome if we got some info out of SDCC about this set, as well.

I'd like to see (or rather hear) a version of Batman with all the Prince songs removed.

Lol, the only fan edit of Batman 89' that I know of is an "80's edition" that not only adds Prince's "Batdance" to the film, but also adds in a ton of other 80's songs by the likes of Madonna and Cindy Lauper lol.

I'm really hoping we hear something about this soon. It'd be nice if they gave it the Ultimate Collector's Edition touch, but I have this guy feeling that it'll be something more along the lines of the current digibook with a "5" on it.

I like the digibook a lot and think the current documentaries are pretty high quality. It will take a lot for me to double-dip.

I second this! I remember thinking at the time that the Prince soundtrack was the only thing keeping this from being the perfect movie. My tastes have matured some, but I still think the movie would be vastly improved by the deletion of Prince's music.

Well to each their own then, I LOVE the Prince music in this!

I don't think that works. Prince's music is only used as a practical in the film. In the sense that virtually every time you hear it, there is an actual loudspeaker, car stereo or boom box playing it. The parade scene and the scene at the art museum would be absurd if you replaced the pop music with underscore.

Unless you mean that Prince should be replaced with Oingo Boingo songs, which, other than satisfying a matter of taste, wouldn't change these scenes much at all.
