A Fortnite Batman Sprite will be released on Thursday, July 16, 2026 during the game’s next major update.

Based on previous patches, the Fortnite Batman Sprite should be added to the game after the July 16 update goes live at 4 AM PT / 7 AM ET. Although Epic Games can sometimes need more time to complete a major Fortnite update. So this is an estimated schedule. Basically, once the Fortnite servers are back up, the Batman Sprite should be unlockable.

Batman Sprite Powers and Rare Variants Explained

At the time of writing, we don’t currently know what powers the Batman Sprite gives players. However, the leaked image on the Nintendo eShop confirms that the DC-themed Sprite will have rare variants for players to collect.

Here is every Batman Sprite in Fortnite:

  • Batman Sprite
  • Gold Batman Sprite
  • Gummy Batman Sprite
  • Galaxy Batman Sprite
  • Holofoil Batman Sprite

Interestingly, it looks like we’ll even be getting a Holofoil Batman sprite based on Nintendo’s listing. The new holofoil variant actually makes its debut in Fortnite on Thursday, July 9, 2026.  That said, the jury is still out on whether this new Batman item will be a Mythical Fortnite Sprite like Burnt Peanut or a more common character to collect.
