TheBatman/Fortnite: Zero Pointcomic series lands on June 18, 2025, offering players codes for redeemable in-game items, such as the new Rebirth Harley Quinn skin. The six-issue miniseries is not the first time the Caped Crusader has shown up inFortnite, and fans may not know how important his inclusion in the game actually was from the very beginning. Years in the making, Batman has been an integral part ofFortnite’s story regarding the Zero Point’s secret origin.
Batman was first seen in Season X whenGotham City was sucked into theFortniteworld using a Rift Beacon back in 2019. The crossover was part of Batman’s 80th anniversary and included skins for Batman, Catwoman, and several pickaxe, back bling, and glider cosmetics. This initial tie-in was just a tease of things to come, as the plan for Batman has always been much larger than just a few cosmetic items. Now, the newBatman/Fortnite: Zero Pointcomicwill give players insight into the Zero Point, Loop, and life both on and off the Island, all of which will be canon.

Years in the Making
Seemingly, early conversations with DC laid out howFortnite’sstory would work and how the Dark Knight could fit into it. As Epic Games and DC talked, details started to solidify, including how Batman, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and evenG.I. Joe’s Snake Eyes, would fit into the widerFortniteuniverse.
As theBatman/Fortnite: Zero Pointcomic began to take shape, it seems it was important to Mustard that the story remained canon, with events in the comic coinciding with those onFortnite’scurrent Apollo Islandat their time of release. As players explore Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 6, they will notice that the comic’s events influence what is going on around them in-game and vice-versa. It is a smart tactic to getFortniteplayers to buy into the comic and Batman fans to dip their toes intoFortnite. While Batman may not have been the first crossover to show up inFortnite, he was certainly one of the first planned and a central focus of the overall storyline.
Secrets of The Island Revealed
WhileFortnite’splans for Batman include him arriving on Apollo Island with no memories of who he is or where he is, he will also have to contend with a Batman who is already on the island and has been stuck in the loop since Season X. The island has slowly changed this previous Batman, as players will see unfold. As Batman tries to figure out who he is and how to escape the Loop, he’ll not only come face to face with himself, but alsoFortnitefavoritessuch as Fishstick, Bandolier, and Renegade Raider.
Also,Harley Quinnarrived before him, and there is no idea what she has been up to in the time leading up to his arrival. How does Catwoman fit into all this, and how will it affect their current relationship? These are questions many DC fans may have right off the bat, butFortnitefans will be tearing throughBatman/Fortnite: Zero Point’spages to uncover burning questions they have had for seasons.
With planned twists and surprises,other characters from the multiverseare sure to make an appearance, even though Batman and crew are the books' core focus. With Epic Games taking a very MCU approach to planning and storytelling, there is no way to know exactly who will show up and what ties to past events will have a major impact on what Zero Point will reveal. All that is currently known is that Batman’s history withFortnitehas been long-planned since the game’s conception.
