It also describes some “world-shattering events,” meaning the big Season 5 ending event on March 16 could tee up the massive DC universe crossover; as well as some “never before seen” areas of the Island. This is all rumors for now, but the community is hyped nevertheless.
Batman already has a skin in Fortnite, dating back to Season X. Numerous other DC characters have also been thrown onto the Island; most recently the Flash and Green Arrow. However, there’s potential for more, and a story to boot.
While Batman and other Fortnite characters are in an underground complex (probably the base of the I.O. Guards?), they will "explore areas never before seen in the game".
They will also uncover revelations about the history and inner workings of the world of Fortnite!
