"The Future" is a song from American musician Prince's 1989 Batman soundtrack, and the final single released from the album.

Moore and Orbit substituted a muted, pulsating beat in place of the original elements of Prince's song.

The lyrics speak of a bleak future, recalling the fictional DC Comics location Gotham City, and that it needs "spirituality that will last".

The track blends hard rock and funk with a loud, booming drum machine pattern, and aggressive bass and lead guitar wailing throughout.
