Last season we had Marvel, but this season will end with a massive crossover event where DC's Batman becomes a major part of Zero Point's story! If you're interested in what that means, we'll lay out the most crucial fact: there will be a Batman skin in Fortnite. Soon.
Batman rushes to Fortnite Island
This is major news, but unfortunately some details are still under wraps. What we do know is that you're going to want to get your hands on these aptly titled Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point comics. Here are the quick notes on this exciting new crossover.
Comics
Batman's introduction to the Fortnite universe will be heavily story-driven. So story-driven, in fact, that you'll have to buy and read the comics that are coming out (as of April 20, 2021) to figure out what's going on with Batman's chain through zero point. Not only will there be a story focused on explaining Batman's role in this strange world, but there will be new information about Zero Point's background.
This information is not meant to be released in any other form, including in-game. There will only be six comics to collect, so we can expect this series to end Season 5 in a concise yet exciting way.

The codes
Each of the comics (priced at $4,99 for standard material or $5,99 for card stock) will contain a code to be entered into Fortnite. Each code you get will unlock a skin or cosmetic. Currently, we don't know what one of the unlockables is: the Harley Quinn Rebirth skin. Unfortunately, we don't know the other five unlocks.
Still, the most important part of these codes: when you collect all six, you'll unlock an armored Batman character, which you can play as. Suddenly, all those Joker skins you see running around will be a lot more tempting to take down. Overall, this character skin will cost you US$25 or US$36. However, instead of just getting the Batman skin, you get all six collectible comics and other items and characters.
The story
Batman's story in the Fortnite universe will follow its mysterious trend. The premise is that Batman will be pulled through a rift forming in Gotham and end up on Fortnite Island. When he lands, he will have no idea who he was or how he got there and will have to use his inner detective instincts to solve the puzzle behind ground zero. Gotham can't do it without him, so hopefully he gets his memory back and goes back in time.
