The Batman (Pen & Ink) outfit landed in the Fortnite Item Shop on May 19, 2026 at 8PM ET, timed to the launch of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. It uses the cel-shaded, inked aesthetic Epic has been applying to comic-inspired collabs, and ships with a matching cape back bling. A separate bundle adds a themed pickaxe at a discount.

Prices and what each offer includes
Two purchase paths exist in the Item Shop. The standalone offer pairs the outfit with its back bling, while the bundle adds the Batarang Knucks pickaxe and discounts the total.
| Offer | Contents | Price (V-Bucks) |
|---|---|---|
| Batman (Pen & Ink) Bundle | Outfit, Batman’s Cape back bling, Batarang Knucks pickaxe | 1,800 (down from 2,300) |
| Batman (Pen & Ink) | Outfit + Batman’s Cape back bling | 1,500 |
| Batman’s Cape (Pen & Ink) | Back bling only | 300 |
| Batarang Knucks | Pickaxe only | 800 |
The bundle is the better value if you want the pickaxe. Picking up the standalone outfit and the pickaxe separately costs 2,300 V-Bucks, so the 1,800 bundle is a flat 500 V-Bucks cheaper.

Availability window
The Batman (Pen & Ink) offers are time-limited. The in-game timer points to a rotation out of the Item Shop on May 29, 2026, at 8 PM ET, when the daily shop reset takes place. After that point, there’s no confirmed return date, so anyone who wants it should plan around the current window.
Style notes
The Pen & Ink treatment debuted with the Deadpool and Wolverine outfits and has since rolled out to other comic-book characters, including Superman. The Batman version leans into a classic comic-page look, with heavy black inking lines and flat shading across the cowl, cape, and suit. It does not include a toggle to disable the cel-shaded effect, which is consistent with earlier Pen & Ink skins.
This is a separate cosmetic from the existing Batman Comic Book Outfit, the Dark Knight Movie Outfit, Batman Zero, Armored Batman Zero, The Batman Who Laughs, Ninja Knight Batman, and Batman Beyond. It brings the total count of Batman outfits in Fortnite to eight.
