    I think it is absolutely wild that we don’t have Robin yet, or any more members of the Bat-Family.
  • @fangozens
    Robin, Green Lantern and a comic Flash is truly what i want Hawk Girl and Martian Manhunter would be amazing too
  • @AAAGamesMaster
    They didn't even made Lego versions for the DC skins, only the Marvel ones, and Batman is probably the second biggest franchise associated with Lego ever, only loosing to Lego StarWars, this is insane
  • @CoolIguess5
    Some DC skins I would love are Robin and Cyborg to compete the Teen Titans. Penguin to promote the Penguin show. Peacemaker and Vigilante down the line. Harley Quinn in her jester costume. Blue Beetle to make up for not promoting the Blue Beetle movie and he should have a built in glider from his wings that his suit could make. Green Lantern either Hal Jordan or John Stewart. Ratcatcher 2, Polkadotman, and King Shark to complete the good Suicide Squad.
  • Battlepass skins NEED to come back. The fact I won't ever have Raven or Spider-Man ever again is insane
  • @IMachineHeadI
    I’d probably put some of the blame on Marvel for the lack of DC skins. Not cuz they’re rival companies but it’s cuz Marvel does a skin for almost every god damn season.
  • @GojimusPrime200
    I really wish Fortnite would've had a Peacemaker collab, would love to have Peacemaker himself and Vigilante in the game!
  • @Cubick

    22:12 There was an Aquaman wrap being developed for his Battle Pass. Ironically, it got recycled into Shang-Chi's from Marvel. An unreleased Batman wrap was also leaked recently (meant for his first two skins based on the codename, which could mean this is a leftover from the 2019 collab).

    47 minutes!? Gotta prepare some snacks for this one 🍿 10:36 Finally someone said it. This design is honestly one of my all time favorite villain designs of all time. Black Manta is so often criticized for having such an oversized helmet, but this design fixes so much of that original issue by making the entire suit way more bulky to compensate (and also having an in-universe reason for it to be as big as it is, is really cool) something else I really like about the suit is that unlike almost every other design for him I’ve seen, he actually has red in more places than just his eyes, which makes the helmet naturally bleed into the rest of the design whilst still not looking out of place. 15:25 I’m not gonna say that the arrow-verse design is necessarily bad. buuuuuut, I am still so upset that they didn’t include his comic design, it’s so much more fun than generic Dark color pallet suit nb 27. Give me my silly green suit 😭 24:41 omg, I’d almost completely forgotten those, I vividly remember just going :0 ”what!?” the moment I saw the Super Man 64 rings being referenced. They were also just unironically good challenges, I feel like most challenges nowadays are just “shoot person with X condition” or “go to X location and interact with Y thing” or “just play the game normally but now we track stuff” but these challenges had actually creativity and love behind them which was really cool. 29:15 ok, I get that this is somewhat of a weird thing to comment on, but has anyone else noticed how absolutely high detail Deathstroke’s nose looks? Like seriously, I genuinely can’t quite wrap my head around why it looks so odd. Even though he’s wearing a mask he still somehow has the most pronounced nostrils of anyone in the game. And i can’t tell if it’s just the mask that makes it look bigger than it actually is, but his nose also looks uncomfortably big. Other than that, the skin itself is pretty cool i
  • @phantomloard0138
    honestly I feel like there needs to be a dc battle pass like the marvel one
  • @Dorkley_Arts
    Fun fact, in the early years of Batman comics, he did wield a gun, and didn’t mind killing thugs. This changed when Batman meets Dick Grayson, turning Dick into robin, and Batman now not killing his enemies.

    I remember watching this video when it originally came out- and I find myself coming back to it a lot. As a humongous DC fan I admit I am a little upset to have missed my favorite character of all time next to Huntress (Starfire) so I find a sort of comfort in this video. It's very well thought out and well worded, and genuinely one of the best designed videos I've ever had the pleasure of watching. I decided to watch it again today so I thought I'd finally comment and show some support. Keep up the good work :)

    I'm still in shock we don't have Green Lantern and Robin in the game.

    How to Make NightWing in Fortnite You need the customizable superhero skin “Hunter” Suit pattern- INTREPID Hair- hair style A Mask- on Primary material - metallic Primary color - midnight blue Secondary material- metallic Secondary color - black Accessory color - black Eye FX - off Eye color - white Hair color - black Sticker - if you have one that matches nightwing logo then put it if not there’s really no need anyway Back bling- burning ember holster Pickaxe - volt batons, or black widows electric batons Glider - intrepid, reminds of the glider they gave him in Gotham knights game New 52 Nightwing - Just turn the blue part of the suit into red and that’s it
  • @Falderos8729
    So glad I got Raven from the battle pass as well as her OG variant. Such a great skin
  • @AlphaSilverhawk
    Marvel is potentially next. When May rolls around, it would be 1 year since Fortnite added a Marvel skin/character, with Miles and 2099 being the last ones added in May 2023.
