The Batman soundtrack wasn't too bad....and the first track 'The Future'
at least shares a theme with techno. I'd imagine some of Prince's stuff
would have heavily influenced a lot of the early sexy techno like "Where we
Used to Play" and "Just Another Chance".

Not to mention at one of techno's peak development years (1989),
Prince released the abominable Batman soundtrack.

I have heard of Prince referred to as Little Richard Hendryx, the black
Bowie, and Repo-Elvis before, but I don't think he's the tap root of
techno.
A major feeder line maybe.
Consider that Mojo played a lot of Prince to a Detroit radio audience that
was especially appreciative. Prince proved the P-funk hypothesis.
Some building block tracks might include Controversy and Erotic City, but
there is that whole "rock star" thing that isn't quite in line with
techno...
You feelin' alright Mike?
