Batman and Donald Mustard to Reveal Fortnite Secrets In The DC Comic

Donald Mustard is CCO of Epic Games and the man behind the upcoming DC Comics Batman/Fortnite comic book crossover, which will be featured in the Fortnite game. And, looking at the revealed solicitations for the final three issues, will be used to reveal backstory to Fortnite never revealed previously.

Fortnite: Battle Royale has a backstory to its world shrouded in mystery, with John Jones, The Seven, the Zero Point, the Loop, the Storm, and all manner of questions of reality, why the Island exists, why its inhabitants are forced to keep fighting, how dimensional rifts tie into all of this and what on earth is going on. And it looks like Donald Mustard will be revealing more of this in the upcoming comic.

Bleeding Cool has had a look at the final three-issue solicitations. The first three issues will see Batman trying to come to terms with the new world, which keeps wiping his memory every 22 minutes by giving himself notes. Well, it appears that by the end of issue 3, he will have been successful and will have left the Loop. In issue 4, "will discover secrets about the world of Fortnite never before revealed in the game or anywhere else." In issue 5, "uncover revelations about the history and inner workings of the world of Fortnite." And in issue 6, "the implications for both Fortnite and the DC Universe will be huge."

So because Donald Mustard is co-writer – and artist on the premium cardstock covers – this should count as Fortnite canon. And yes, it looks like Deathstroke has made it through too. I wonder if he will have forgotten his past crimes?
