While DC characters are no strangers to Fortnite, the game and Batman have crossed over a few times already. It started for Batman Day with the debut of the Dark Knight movie skin and was followed by the comic accurate Batman skin, a Catwoman skin, and a loading screen. This was only the beginning as many other DC characters have joined since then. The Batman Who Laughs skin joins the game to celebrate the launch of the latest Batman/Fortnite crossover comic, Foundation, that fans can find in their local comic shops or on digital markets.

As with many of the other skins introduced to Fortnite, there are a few ways fans can grab the Batman Who Laughs skin. Anyone who picks up the Foundation comic will receive a redeemable code to get for free. The skin is also available to purchase in the Fortnite Item Shop. The outfit on its own costs 1,500 V-Bucks, but there are some further cosmetics available either separately or in a bundle. Fans can get the Wings of Madness glider or the Death Metal Scythe for 800 V-Bucks each. If players are after all the new DC-inspired products then they can purchase them for 2,200 V-Bucks, which has Robin’s Perch back bling thrown in.

For those players that are unfamiliar with The Batman Who Laughs, it is the story of the Batman of Earth-22 and isn’t much different from that of any other version of the Caped Crusader’s beginnings. However, after a long and violent confrontation with The Joker, Bruce ultimately snaps after becoming infected with Joker Venom. Being both Batman and the Joker, his reign of terror borders on some of the darkest scenes ever to appear in DC Comics’ pages. Ultimately, The Batman Who Laughs becomes a huge menace and continues to wreak havoc throughout the DC Multiverse.

One of the reasons fans may want to grab the new Batman/Fortnite: Foundation #1 is that the story will be Fortnite canon. This comic book shows players what happened with the Foundation following his appearance a few seasons back. Somehow, he’s washed up in Gotham Harbor and he appears to fight with Batman once he arrives there.

Given the aesthetic of The Batman Who Laughs, who is one of the darker figures added to Fortnite, his addition comes at the perfect time for Halloween. This DC Comics character skin will remain available in the Fortnite store for a limited time

Fortnite is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
