Batman Event Planned For Fortnite Officially Confirmed, Available For Two Weeks

The latest news coming from the Fortnite camp is plans for a new Batman crossover could be set to launch very soon. After the trail ran cold for the alleged Fortnite and IT: Chapter Two event leak, this one holds some weight as it appears to be very legit. The information leaked gave details on a new location that reskins Tilted Towers as Gotham City. 

There also appears to be new items like the Grapnel Gun and Explosive Batarang. The Explosive Batarang could possibly work like sticky weapons such as Clingers, but perhaps set to be thrown with a wider boomerang arc pattern. It's said that they detonate when enemies are in proximity, so it could be Clinger based, with its own unique spin.

The Grapnel Gun will work very similar to the grappler with its own unique change. The description reads, "Pull yourself towards a target's location, and deploy the Bat Cape.". 

There's also a glider, which may be either a reward or an item that appears in the store. It doesn't look very Batman-esque, more like something Lex Luthor or The Green Goblin would fly on. But it's an interesting item nonetheless.

As for a release day to be announced, September 21st is Batman Day. No concrete speculation, but given that DC is planning this big time event, what better day than BATMAN DAY? Perhaps that may have curtailed plans for the cancelled IT: Chapter Two crossover, proper time and implementation is required to successfully roll out these events. I also question the "leak". Leaks seem to be purposefully done to cast a line out into the news waters and seeing what bites. But hey, it's the method to the madness. Should any concrete updates occur, stay posted here. Until then, ciao!

[UPDATE: Sept 21, 2019] The event is now officially confirmed and will run for two weeks. Titled Town will be reskinned as Gotham City, and the special items like the Bat Glider, melee weapons, and special skins (including an homage to the Joel Schumacher films). The Catwoman outfit is also in the item shop as part of the "Caped Crusader Pack". The event is available until October 6th.
