DC and Epic Games are teaming up for Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point, a six-issue miniseries by Christos Gage, Donald Mustard, Reilly Brown, Christian Duce, Nelson DeCastro and John Kalisz.
"When DC first approached me about doing a Batman/Fortnite series I thought it would be a lot of fun," Gage said. "After speaking with Donald [Mustard] and discovering just how deeply we'd be diving into the secrets behind the world of Fortnite, I was amazed! This series will reveal things about Fortnite that have never been seen or heard before yet are very much part of the canon of the game."
"I’m also looking forward to integrating other DC Super Heroes into the series, characters that Batman has existing relations with," he continued. "It’ll be exciting to share with fans how these relationships will be reshaped in this new world. The art by Reilly, Christian, Nelson, and John is stunning, and my prediction is that this series will blow everybody’s mind, whether you’re a fan of DC, Batman or Fortnite."
Print issues of Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point will include codes that can be redeemed for DC-centric Fortnite items, the first of which is a Harley Quinn skin inspired by the DC Rebirth era. For digital readers, those in the United States with an active DC Universe Infinite subscription will receive free access to the title, as well as the digital codes. Those who collect the codes from all six issues will then be able to unlock the Armored Batman Zero skin.
A crack splits the sky above Gotham City... a tear in reality itself. This rift pulls the Dark Knight into a bizarre and unfamiliar world, with no memory of who he is or where he came from...Batman has been drawn into Fortnite!
As he fights to recall his past and escape an endless loop of chaos and struggle, he’ll come face-to-face with the likes of Renegade Raider, Fishstick, Bandolier, and more. While the world's greatest detective strives to make sense of this strange new world, he’ll uncover the shocking truth about the Island, what lies beyond the Loop, and how everything is connected to the mysterious Zero Point.
Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point uncovers secrets never before revealed in game or anywhere else! Every fan of Batman, Fortnite, stunning art and edge-of-your-seat excitement won't want to miss the Caped Crusader facing off against Fortnite champions on the Island, in a desperate attempt to save not only himself, but other familiar faces from the DCU…and perhaps the Multiverse itself!
Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point #1, by Christos Gage, Donald Mustard, Reilly Brown, Christian Duce, Nelson DeCastro and John Kalisz, goes on sale April 20 from DC.
