Fortnite & DC Comics Unveil The Batman Who Laughs Skin

Fortnite is joining forces with DC Comics once again for a new playable skin based on one of DC’s darkest characters in recent memory: The Batman Who Laughs. Epic Game’s massively multiplayer battle royale sandbox has seen several guest appearances from DC’s iconic pantheon of heroes and villains over the years, and Batman is set to engage in a deadly game of Fortnite for the second time in the pages of the upcoming Batman/Fortnite: Foundation crossover comic.

There have been several evil versions of Bruce Wayne and his heroic alter-ego throughout Batman’s nearly eight decades of publication, but few have been as twisted and sinister as The Batman Who Laughs. First appearing in the 2017 DC Black Label event Dark Knights: Metal, The Batman Who Laughs is the Earth-22 version of Bruce Wayne, who was exposed to the Joker’s mind-alerting Joker Gas after finally breaking his most sacred rule and killing the Clown Prince Of Crime during their final battle. This warps the Dark Knight’s mind into a mirror version of his greatest enemy, combining the intelligence and superb physical strength of the former with the sheer insanity and nihilistic worldview of the latter. The Batman Who Laughs would go on to conquer the Earth of his home universe before ultimately crossing over into the main DC reality, quickly becoming a popular villain among readers and even being featured as an alternate character skin in Mortal Kombat 11. Now, his reign of terror is spreading to Fortnite, just in time for today’s DC Fandome livestream event.

According to GameSpot, Fortnite is offering up a free playable skin of The Batman Who Laughs to players who pick up Batman/Fortnite: Foundation #1 when it hits newsstands and digital comic markets on October 26. This skin will also be available to purchase in the Fortnite Item Shop that day, along with a scythe-like melee weapon and the bat wing-style Robin’s Perch back bling.

As mentioned before, the announcement of Fortnite’s latest DC guest character skin comes just in time for today’s DC Fandome event livestream, a four-hour celebration of all things DC that promises a closer look at two very promising DC video games: WB Montreal’s Gotham Knights and Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. Even in the days leading up to the big event, the developers behind these exciting titles have given out clues and tidbits regarding what fans can expect to see, including the first official screenshot of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. Additionally, certain fans have been receiving a special gift package to promote Gotham Knights’ appearance at DC Fandome, consisting of a collectible mask patterned after the sinister Court Of Owls and a newspaper chronicling the death of Bruce Wayne.

The Batman Who Laughs has been hinted to serve as a major antagonist in the upcoming Batman/Fortnite: Foundation, so it makes sense for Fortnite to bring him in as a playable skin to coincide with the event. Players will be able to strike fear and terror as this twisted version of the Dark Knight when the Batman Who Laughs skin and cosmetic items are released alongside Batman/Fortnite: Foundation #1 on October 26.
