Fortnite's 4 Hot Bat Summer Skins Ignite 13+ Content Backlash

Summary
Four DC swimsuit skins added to Fortnite on July 16 — Batman, Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy — triggered a wave of online complaints branding them sexually explicit.
Epic tagged the skins 13+ and barred them from E-rated modes such as Lego Fortnite, while Fortnite itself already carries a Teen rating and parental controls.
The backlash spread across X, Instagram, Facebook and Reddit, with some parents saying they removed the game from children's consoles over what they called sexualized content.
The release also fueled a second dispute inside the fandom after Epic briefly posted a less revealing Poison Ivy image, then said the in-game skin had not been censored.
