Epic Games and DC Fandome revealed The Batman Who Laughs skin that will launch with the Batman/Fortnite: Foundation comic crossover.


Update October 16 – The Batman Who Laughs Fortnite skin

Epic are bringing The Batman Who Laughs Outfit to the battle royale alongside the launch of the Batman/Fortnite: Foundation story.

The Batman Who Laughs will come to Fortnite.

The Batman Who Laughs will also have a Dark Multiverse Set that includes a Pickaxe and Glider. Robin’s Perch Back Bling and Dark Days Loading Screen are coming to the game too.

Even though the codes with the comic will unlock the bundle, you can also be able to pick up The Batman Who Laughs skin and accompanying items from the Fortnite Item Shop starting on October 26.

However, the Dark Days Loading Screen is only available from redeeming a code from the Batman/Fortnite: Foundation comic.

Original story follows below…


The Foundation, Fortnite’s mysterious leader of The Seven and main figure in the Zero Point storyline, will travel to Gotham City in the upcoming story. That’s about all that was known until the cover for the one-shot collab was apparently leaked.

An image shared by Fortnite insider ‘iFireMonkey’ revealed the cover art for the first issue with Batman and The Foundation fighting in the center of the frame.

However, Fortnite fans were more interested in the lurking figure in the background and are wondering if that is the skin that’s set to launch with the comic.

The Batman Who Laughs could be the skin that will come bundled with Batman Fortnite Foundation #1.

Behind the two warring stars of the story appears the unmistakable grin of The Batman Who Laughs, a version of Bruce Wayne who was infected by the Joker toxin.

Major story points of the new arc are still unknown, but we do know the physical comic will have a bonus digital code for an outfit in Fortnite.

The previous Fortnite x DC series eventually introduced everyone that graced the debut cover with Batman, Harley Quinn, and Catwoman all making it into the battle royale.

Batman Fortnite Foundation release date

Epic are getting ready for the launch of its next comic crossover when the Batman Fortnite Foundation one-shot hits shelves on October 26.

‘One-shots’ generally encapsulate an entire story that comes in about 30-50 page comic that doesn’t lend itself to a normal series run.

There’s going to be plenty of interest when the comic finally drops to see what new skin is coming to the game and we can’t wait to see what it is.
