Details revealed for Batman / Fortnite: Foundation

Earlier this year, DC Comics announced a partnership with the popular video game Fortnite, which delivered a crossover cartoon called Batman / Fortnite: Zero Point. Due to the success of the series was a new cartoon announced as a single shot to October. At the time of its announcement, there were very few details, other than that the creative team from Zero Point would be joined by author Scott Snyder for the new issue. Now DC has revealed many more details for what is now known as Batman / Fortnite: Foundation # 1. Without the new one-shot getting a name, the question also received further details on what fans can expect as well as an example of the cartoon and its multiple covers.

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, joins Jonathan Glapion and Matt Hollingsworth on the main cover, with a variant cover provided by Alex Garner, plus a premium variant cover by Epic Games CCO Donald Mustard (check local stores for availability).

When he returns to Gotham City after the events at Zero Point, Batman faces a new mystery and a new arrival. Foundation, an enigmatic figure from Fortnite Island, emerges from the depths of Gotham Harbor, and Dark Knight will investigate what he’s doing in his town.

It was also revealed with the details in Batman / Fortnite: Foundation # 1, that the comic will be released on nine international territories on the same release date: Argentina, Brazil, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Poland and Spain along with the United States and Canada. The physical versions of the cartoon will include a bonus code for downloading a special Batman Who Laughs skin for the game (seen above) and an exclusive loading screen with the character (seen below). The skin can also be purchased in the in-game store when the comic is released.

On top of that, it was also announced that there is a new collaboration between DC, Warner Bros. Consumer Products, Epic Games and clothing designer Extra Butter NY. They will offer a number of DC x Fortnite shirts and hoodies with Batman Who Laughs. The items are available worldwide and can now be ordered directly from Extra butter NY.

And if not all of these Batman x Fortnite news were enough, DC also unveiled a trailer with an overview of the events from the original series along with more details for Batman / Fortnite: Foundation # 1. The comic comes on October 26th.
