Batman Beyond is getting a Fortnite skin to close out 2025. The futuristic version of the Dark Knight officially just hit Fortnite, which is a big achievement for the often-underrated character. For fans hoping that Terry McGinnis will make a big comeback in 2026, this is a great sign that good things are coming.
Batman Beyond and his counterpart, Beyond’s Joker, have both dropped in Fortnite. Batman Beyond is a beloved hero, especially for the generation of fans who grew up with him.
Now, Fortnite is an opportunity for younger fans to get acquainted with the future Batman, which could signal a renaissance for the hero.

The Legacy Of Beyond, And How Fortnite Can Help Its Future
Batman Beyond is best known as a three-season animated series, which aired from 1999 to 2001. Despite running for just 52 episodes, the show’s protagonist, Terry McGinnis, made an outsized impact on the Batman fandom. The story of Bruce Wayne’s successor is highly regarded, to this day, but it never translated to a consistent comic presence for Terry.
There have been sporadic Batman Beyond comics over the past 25 years, but the hero doesn’t have quite the presence in franchise lore as longtime fans would like. A Fortnite skin is a great way to honor the animated series’ legacy, and at the same time, keep Terry McGinnis in the public consciousness.

The First Step Toward A Revival?
In 2025, Marvel Rivals was among the breakout games of the year. A byproduct of its massive success was that a wider audience was exposed to some deep-cut Marvel lore, the kind that not even the MCU has been able to incorporate, thanks to the game’s roster of Multiversal versions of Marvel heroes.
Fortnite remains one of the world’s most popular games, and the inclusion of skins like Batman Beyond’s offers the exact same benefit. The Batman Beyond version of the Caped Crusader might just become some young fan’s favorite version of Batman now, as a direct result of its inclusion in the game.
