This is for the Fortnite players, who must get ready to open those wallets because two new DC skins will appear tomorrow: Mister Terrific and The Engineer. Of course, there are gamers who’re ecstatic about it while others being confused about the sidelines being given to these lesser-known characters over more popular ones like Lex Luthor, or Green Lantern.
The said Mister Terrific bundle will be sold 2,000 V-Bucks, with its single skins at 1,500 V-Bucks, according to the trusted leaker @SpushFNBR. The Engineer comes with an interlocked emote-an added bonus for DC fans to flaunt in the lobby.
It gets spicy in the replies! In comment section, the furious debate keeps going, the reactions mixed. The camp includes @YngJackieAprile, who says, “I’ll be buying Mr Terrific,” while the detractors like @MelissandeXO shoot, “Nobody knows them.” Ouch.
And the real fight for being so personal about this drop is coming from the Lex Luthor stans; @BrickmeisterUSA calls it “CRAZY” that we get these characters instead of Superman’s bald nemesis, while @tycemo707 questions “Engineer over LEX?! Or Lois even. Wild.”
Other players are still hopeful for some other DC representatives. @TheAustinSanity wonders about Green Lantern rep, naming Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Meanwhile, @mk_aln9 is campaigning hard for Nightwing and Supergirl skins, because, seriously, who doesn’t want to see Dick Grayson’s flawless backside in Fortnite?
There are some fun speculations about future DC collaborations, as @BatmanHypeGuy wonders if we might be seeing some Peacemaker characters in Season 2, and @oneviljak demands “now they better release guy gardner and hawkgirl too.” The demand for more Batman family members is kept alive, with @djbestgamergod pushing for “Batgirl and Nightwing and Red Hood.”
That’s just fascinating because these DC collaborations with Fortnite keep stirring these heated debates. The game has grown into this weird nexus where hardcore comic fans and casual players collide. Some want deep cuts like Mr. Terrific (respect for the T-spheres), while others just want the A-listers they’ve known from movies and TV.
Some things to note are the prices: at 1500 V-Bucks per skin, these fall within the typical Fortnite premium cosmetic droplet. And the 2000 V-Bucks bundle saves you only 1000 V-Bucks if you’re getting both skins. Not exactly the rally for the century, but, hey, comic book fans are used to shelling out for their pastime.
Any insight into “Why these characters in particular?” A few theories have been made in the replies about movie designs, with @2064Niko noting, “They were always going to be movie designs.” Could this be a hint of an upcoming DCU for these characters? The Engineer especially seems like an odd pick unless James Gunn has plans for her in the forthcoming Superman films.
One thing that is for sure: Fortnite’s DC collaborations always get people talking. Whether you’re hyped for these skins or still holding out for your favorite hero (or villain), the item shop rotation never fails to cause a stir. They’re dropping tomorrow, so either get ready with your V-Bucks, or save them in protest until Lex finally makes his entrance. Either way, the Fortnite x DC universe keeps growing in unexpected ways, and honestly? That’s half the fun.
