The Foundation has found himself in Gotham Harbor, and in Gotham he detects energy from the Zero Point. Following the Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point series, the standalone Batman/Fortnite: Foundation comic lands in stores on October 26, 2021.

The Batman Who Laughs

Like the Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point comics, Batman/Fortnite: Foundation includes a redeemable code for a bonus DC-themed Fortnite digital item inspired by the comic’s events. The item that goes with Batman/Fortnite: Foundation? From the new Dark Multiverse Set, The Batman Who Laughs Outfit! Also from the Set, the code additionally unlocks the Robin’s Perch Back Bling and Dark Days Loading Screen. (More info in our FAQ.)

Batman/Fortnite: Foundation - FAQ


How can I get access to The Batman Who Laughs Outfit, Robin’s Perch Back Bling, and Dark Days Loading Screen?

You can get the Outfit, Back Bling, and Dark Days Loading Screen in the following ways:

  • Purchase a Batman/Fortnite: Foundation comic book from your local comics shop. The comic contains one unique code that unlocks the Outfit, Back Bling, and Loading Screen.

  • Purchase the Outfit and Back Bling directly from the Fortnite Item Shop, with V-Bucks*. (The Loading Screen will only be available by redeeming a code from Batman/Fortnite: Foundation.)

*The suggested retail price of Batman/Fortnite: Foundation is $4.99 ($5.99 for a premium, variant cover version). In the Item Shop, The Batman Who Laughs Outfit and Robin’s Perch Back Bling, which are included together, will be available for 1,500 V-Bucks (when purchasing separately from the Bundle they’re part of).


What happens if I redeem a code after I already purchased the Outfit + Back Bling from the Fortnite Item Shop?

This will not return V-Bucks to your account and/or unlock any extra content. However, this will still unlock the Dark Days Loading Screen.


Does a code unlock other items from The Dark Multiverse Set?

No, a code only unlocks the The Batman Who Laughs Outfit, Robin’s Perch Back Bling, and Dark Days Loading Screen.
