News by Matt Wales Reporter Updated on 18 Sep 2019 6 comments If the unbridled tinkerings of Fortnite's datamining community are to be believed, the game's next faintly preposterous crossover event - following on from the likes of John Wick, Stranger Things, and that guy what is also a marshmallow - will see everybody's favourite gloomy superhero Batman joining the battle royale parade. Dataminers, after a good old rummage around Fortnite's innards, have uncovered a host of Batman-related assets squirrelled away in the latest build - including a new loading screen featuring moonlit gothic rooftops, plus a Batman banner, spray, and wing-like Bat Glider.

And now that I've seen it written down, I realise I've been incorrectly pronouncing it "Batameringue" all this time. Bat Symbot Light Leak!! it will appear in the next tilted (Gotham City) once it's in the game.. and maybe then we will see the Batman skin in the shop! *i found so many effects and things that i'll leak in a bit* pic.twitter.com/lYNJe6Xc3K- HYPEX (@HYPEX) September 18, 2019 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Explodes if it detects enemies in proximity") and the Batman Grapnel Gun ("Pull yourself toward a target location and then deploy the Bat Cape!").

The uncovered loading screen and challenge objectives are linked to the just-started week 8 of Fortnite's current season - and then, of course, there's the fact that this Saturday, 21st September, is Batman Day. So the perfect time for a Dark Knight crossover. More will undoubtedly be revealed in the coming days.
