Epic Games has revealed a fresh line-up of Marvel-themed skins for Fortnite’s Absolute Doom season, causing dismay among DC fans who have been eagerly awaiting a collaboration after years of being left out.
Despite having collaborated with DC Comics numerous times throughout its history, Fortnite has only released 24 skins from the partnership, making it the third largest collaborator. However, DC fans have not received a new skin in the Battle Royale since October 21, 2022, when the Black Adam skin was introduced in Chapter 3 Season 3.
As gamers eagerly anticipate Chapter 5 Season 4’s Marvel-themed takeover, one Fortnite fan named Maximum_Lake_6367, who is a fan of DC, has raised the question: “What happened to the DC skins?”

“They are doomed!”exclaimed one player, while another added, “It’s so sad. I worked hard to save up my Battle Pass points for a Batman skin, but now it may never be released.”
The conversation among players and DC fans quickly shifted to the reasons behind the shortage of DC skins in Fortnite, with a focus on identifying who should be held accountable.
Despite Disney’s ownership of Marvel and Epic Games being noted as a key factor, one individual pointed out that the likelihood of Disney sponsoring DC is low due to their current ownership.
Despite criticisms directed at various parties, Warner Bros, the parent company of DC Comics, received the bulk of the blame. The sentiment was echoed in many responses, with the consensus being that “Warner Bros is currently in turmoil.”
A fan claimed that Warner Brothers is making poor decisions, such as not collaborating with Fortnite, which prevents Epic from being able to sell them.
Another person commented, stating that Warner Bros had declined in quality and Epic had made a billion-dollar deal with their main rival. They believed that the inclusion of DC characters in Fortnite could potentially be over.
Overall, the reason for the sudden halt of DC crossovers and the timeline for when Fortnite players can anticipate another collaboration remains unclear.
However, while Disney has revealed additional details about their partnership with Fortnite at their D23 event, there has been no word from Epic or DC about a potential collaboration in the future.
We have compiled a comprehensive list of all the Marvel skins that will be available in Fortnite when Chapter 5 Season 4 begins on August 16, including the method for obtaining the Doctor Doom skin.
