This event follows several pop culture crossovers with Fortnite, including its Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and John Wick.
UPDATE 2: The first official Fortnite x Batman teaser has gone live in Battle Royale.
A Batarang has been spotted in Tilted Towers, hinting at an imminent start for the Batman crossover event.
UPDATE: The Fortnite x Batman event didn’t go live with the new challenges, which means a September 21 release date looks most likely.
A September 21 start date would coincide with Batman Day, so expect an official announcement soon.

A Rift Zone has brought Gotham City to Fortnite. Of course, it wouldn’t be Gotham City if villainy didn’t come along with it. This POI lets you be the hero the citizens of Gotham City need by giving you your own Batman cape and the power of Glider Redeploy!
Being a hero is even more fun when you have some “wonderful toys” at your disposal. Drop in the game now to try out the Batman Grapnel Gun and Explosive Batarang!
One of the best parts of being a Super Hero is the suit — save the day in style with the Batman Caped Crusader Pack! In addition to other Batman-themed cosmetics, this Pack includes the Batman Comic Book Outfit and The Dark Knight Movie Outfit!
The Batman Caped Crusader Pack will be in the Store until October 6.
The Shop features individual Batman-themed items too, including an Outfit for his feline frenemy Catwoman!
Rescue the Island from danger by taking on the heroic Challenges available until October 1. Completing these Challenges will earn you free rewards from the Welcome to Gotham City Challenge Bundle, including the Catwing Glider! (But stopping evil is reward enough, right?)
