Fortnite Loosens Skin Policy for 4 DC Swimwear Skins as Epic Chases More V-Bucks

Summary
Four DC summer skins for Batman, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and Catwoman went live with Fortnite’s July 16 update, marking a clear shift toward more revealing cosmetics under the “Hot Bat Summer” event.
Epic’s change appears tied to monetization pressure: Fortnite has said it is spending more than it makes, recently raised V-Buck prices, and is leaning on higher-demand cosmetics to boost sales.
The move stands out against Fortnite’s earlier restraint, after the game previously toned down outfits such as Kitana’s and Sabrina Carpenter’s while keeping a more kid-friendly image despite its T-for-Teen rating.
Marvel Rivals provides the clearest backdrop, with its own summer event and bolder swimwear skins showing the kind of cosmetic strategy Fortnite now seems more willing to match.
