Fortnite x Batman Event: Gotham, New Weapons, etc.
A new Event is on the horizon and it's nothing but a Fortnite collaboration with Batman himself!
In files fortnite updates v10. 31 intriguing item sets and map changes have been found that signal the arrival of Batman and Gotham City in the popular title.
Batman Day will take place on Friday, September 21st, and there's a good chance that Epic Games and DC Comics have decided to celebrate.”Caped Crusaders” a special in-game event in which the hero’s classic weapons appear.
The Abandoned Towers area is also poised for a major makeover according to the leaks, with images of the reimagined location appearing in the Fortnite files.
The biggest change comes to the popular location, which was introduced during Season 10 as part of a new Rift Zone that kept players away from building or gathering materials and transported them to the Wild West themed POI.
This will all change, as confirmed by a well-known dataminer @lucas7yoshi, revealing that Gotham City, Batman's fictional home and many of his villainous enemies will be appearing there.
New weapons will also appear during the event, these are “Grapnel Gun "And" Explosive Batarang".
The Grapnel Gun will propel players towards their "target location", meaning this item is most likely a re-skinned grappler, but with Batman using the tool in films like The Dark Knight, it's no surprise that Epic wants to give you a similar option soar through the streets of Gotham.
The explosive Batarang hasn't been forgotten either, being described as an item that sticks to walls and explodes if it "detects enemies in close proximity."

Lucas showed us what the two new airframes and Batman logo spray will look like.
While Batman is the only character mentioned in these leaks, it's very possible that we could also see the Joker appearing over the next few weeks, which could coincide with the release of the movie about the legendary villain on October 4th.
