Batman returns to Fortnite in Batman/Fortnite Foundation

One of the unexpected pleasant surprises this year was Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point. We won’t have to wait long for the follow-up as DC revealed Batman/Fortnite: Foundation #1 will arrive in comic shops on Oct. 26.

This will be a special 48-page one-shot with an incentive to secure a physical copy. Those will include a bonus code to download a Batman Who Laughs outfit and exclusive Batman Who Laughts-themed loading screen for Fortnite.

Additionally, The Batman Who Laughs will be available for purchase in the Fortnite Item Shop on Oct. 26.

Batman/Fortnite: Foundation #1 is co-written by Epic Games Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard, Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point writer Christos Gage and acclaimed Batman and Dark Nights Metal/Dark Nights Death Metal writer Scott Snyder. Art is provided by Joshua Hixson (pencils and inks), Roman Stevens (colors) and AndWorld Design (letters).

Snyder’s longtime collaborator, artist Greg Capullo, teams up with Jonathan Glapion and Matt Hollingsworth for the main cover, with variant covers provided by Alex Garner, plus a premium variant cover by Epic Games CCO Donald Mustard (check local stores for availability).

Returning to Gotham City after the events of Zero Point, Batman is faced with a new mystery and a new arrival. The Foundation, an enigmatic figure from Fortnite Island, emerges from the depths of Gotham Harbor, and the Dark Knight wants to investigate what he is doing in his city.

I’m hoping we get a completely random awesome cameo like Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe popping up in Gotham in this special like we saw in Zero Point.
