Batman Fortnite Zero Point: A Comic Analysis & Story Recap

[00:00:19]I'm a huge fan of fortnite to like an insane degree and I've made a huge Venture for the past year of my career to get all of the Batman suits to make up for missing the Spidey skins it's such a problem too that close friends of mine always give me [ __ ] for coping some of the greatest skins ever cooked up I mean you got TMNT that just came out Invincible omn man Ghost Rider Green Goblin I mean I need it like SpongeBob needs water I need it the only thing however that I'll always regret is just never making it in time for the Spider-Man skins and now I'm just stuck with 2099 Gat in my face I long for you every night and I dream of your warmth until the Sun hits my face and reminds me painfully that no such day shall ever arise again now I love most of the Batman skins except for the OG one and this ugly armored one it just kind of looks a bit off and I don't like the way that he smiles at me gives me the heebie jeebies but the one cool thing about Batman being in fortnite is that I get to talk about Batman fortnite this was a story I glanced over for such a long time cuz I just thought it was a kind of crossover that was cheaply made to sponsor the Skins being in fortnite to ultimately be just a cheap cash grab and probably didn't have much of an interesting story going for it just that a few DC characters alongside Batman interact with Wade waa but man it actually turned out that I was dead wrong I found the actual book at a local Barnes & Noble for a whopping 12 bucks and with it also came a [ __ ] fortnite code that gave me exclusive items to redeem in the shop like the Harley Quinn twin skin the Batman and armored suit skin and a bunch of different back blings and Etc and I had no shame bringing this book to the register to pay for it as a grownass 23-year-old man and I'm not going to lie I played with the new skins way before reading and put off reading the book for a good couple days cuz I've been working tirelessly on that Red Hood video or occasionally modding skins in Arkham Knight or playing fortnite but when I began to read the tale of Batman fortnite I was in for a treat like no other and found that it was ironically one of the better Batman stories I've read in a long time so I thought I'd make a pretty darn good video so without further Ado let's get into the bat buffoonery fornite bad pass I just [ __ ] out of my ass getting into Batman fortnite which takes place in the main DC Comics continuity a huge crack appears in the sky and Batman because he's Batman tells Gordon to evacuate the city because he's getting weird readings from the tear with Gordon adding before leaving that people have been running away from the tear but some are running toward it Batman grapples through the city to find out more about the terror and ends up bumping into Harley Quinn remarking that she stops the clean aena poop in her apartment for two whole minutes and a tear in the fabric of reality comes out of nowhere Batman attempts to glide kick Harley thinking that she's involved with the terror in Gotham somehow until she gets sucked in the terror herself after which Batman Begins running more scienes scans on the terror till a shadowy figure looming in the background kicks Batman into the tear the further Batman gets sucked the more his gadgets go haywire and the added pressure makes Batman BL back out when Batman next comes to he finds himself in Uncharted Territory with a huge purple storm moving in on his location once out a better area to survey the land Batman looks back at the storm and takes notice that it's completely stopped moving sitting at one location giving Batman reason to believe that it's being controlled walking around the map he's then ambushed by this guy from fortnite whose name is a mystery to me but he reminds me of cre from Borderland so that's his name until someone inevitably calls me a dumbass and corrects me angry I'm angry GRE lunges at Batman but Batman uses his momentum to send cre crashing to the floor where he then usually say the famous line talk or I'll Crush every bone in your body but when he speaks nothing comes out so Batman tries to communicate to C through gritt and sign language that he's friendly which leads to three very funny panels I am I I don't know who I am the two engage in hand-to-hand combat and while fighting Batman tries his best to recall who he is Batman figures that this isn't where he's from and he should be able to talk he knows knows how to fight from muscle memory and he knows how to use weapons but anything else is washed away just like the pleb C who thought he could crank 90s on Batman Hest travels Batman tries to get a better lay of the land of fortnite till he almost gets a low taper fade sending Batman tumbling down a mountain Square in the middle of a huge gunfight and at the sight of all these skins Batman thinks he's finally gone mad and this is an asylum fighting to stay alive he struggles to understand why everyone is just fighting with no Rhyme or Reason but through the fighting he sees catw woman in the fry while fighting absolute Bots Batman keeps looking at Catwoman like he knows who she is but just can't place it and as they fight alongside each other they realize they fought together before and their coordination is completely Flawless as they fight Batman wonders if she's a colleague a friend or maybe a lover but before you can get any answers the storm begins to close in fast with no other place to go the duo take down the remaining players and desperately try to figure out a way to escape their impending doom until they both finally accept that they nothing they can do choosing to embrace each other till the storm inevitably takes the two of them ending the story I don't know where I am but apparently I've planned for that messages judging from the angles written to myself lots of them how long have I been here this is where I immediately thought that this was a pretty Peak Batman story because I'm a sucker for groundhog day/ m/ lived ey repeat stories and who better to put in the center of a story like that than the freaking Batman the guy who plans and plans contingencies after contingencies for virtually anything ever and to add for a quick sec this suit is just unequivocally bsing carry on carry on now we are never given the information of how long Batman has been in this fortnite Loop because every time Batman dies he loses all memory of the past game but because he's Batman he's figured out a way to counteract the memory loss by writing key notes on bat rangs gear and even his suit so that way with each Loop he'll eventually get closer and closer to his Escape so you can kind of see now the loose inspiration from movies like lived ey repeat or momento for this story so retracing his steps he defeats C licky split and follows a pair of coordinates on his gear till he finds Catwoman fighting uh gosh I got to look up their names all right meows fishstick rainbow Riot William Aton and the yellow shyy sorcerer Batman helps Catwoman take down the pair of plebs but Catwoman thinks Batman's another threat so the two go at it until Batman itches into a batarang that he's actually a friend before they get taken away by the storm once again and again the loop starts over Batman looks over his notes retraces his steps until Catwoman shows up at his headquarters before going off to find her once again reunited they scour the island for a way out but everywhere they go it turns up a dead end on each Loop and they always get Swept Away by the storm or other times either one of them end up dying trying to find a way out and go through the cycle all over again Liv Die Repeat Live Die Repeat among one of their games they end up running into Harley Quinn who is seen to be absolutely [ __ ] on everyone in her path even hitting the floss after killing everyone I'm not seeing enough movement I'm not funny upon seeing this Batman and Catwoman think that she'd make a great Ally so they try to attempt to recruit her but Harley likes being trapped in fortnite choosing instead to try and kill the duo and kind of sort of succeeds eventually the bat and the cat go over all the notes they've collected about the the island and deduce that one of them will have to die so the other can escape the loop so Batman tries to sit in the storm so that Catwoman can go on and escape the loop yet they both spawn back inside the loop once again through this Batman studies the behavior of other players and the way the storm operates and thinks that in order to escape the loop you have to kill the last player not let yourself die in the storm for the other so the bat and the cat defeat everyone on the island till it comes down to the two of them and Batman proves to Aon that love truly can bloom on the battlefield before making Catwoman stab and kill him so that she can escape the loop once again Batman respawns reads the notes on his gear and retraces his steps still trapped inside the loop no longer aided by Catwoman in the next chapter Batman has succeeded in defeating everyone on the island till becoming the only one left three times but the people running the loop refuse to let Batman Escape however with each Loop Batman continues to improve and improve making the people running the loop very worried so they send in an asset that will hopefully slow down Batman permanently an asset that is equal to Batman in virtually every way and that asset is Snake Eyes this what I'm talking about this [ __ ] means something to me man this is Peak right here if you ask me because this whole time I thought it was going to be Deathstroke or something else but they pulled the old rug right out from under me and gave us this raw ass rivalry Through The Eyes of the people running the loop they're in awe at the way they both fight with counters on top of counters and fighting combinations never thought possible both are Relentless heavy skilled and remain calm In the Heat of battle moving like water you put the water in a mini it becomes a mini you put water into a half pot it becomes the half poot with each time the two spawn in for the next Loop depending on where they both may be it's said that they fight for the whole 22 minutes that a match can last doing all sorts of Maneuvers just to stay alive and it eventually becomes such a spectacle that other players in the matches just stop and watch the battle between Batman and Snake Eyes because it's just so bloody awesome and after so much fighting against each other they both start forming muscle memory of each other's moves and realize they've been fighting like this for a long time however from this they don't form a partnership but they do start to respect one another in combat so much so that when someone tries third partying Batman Snake Eyes puts the guy in his place immediately so they can continue their battle uninterrupted and with the loops running again and again the two inevitably fight on top of a mountain but when Snake Eyes almost Falls over Batman catches him and the two finally stop fighting for a change doing the unexpected they begin to converse with each other through sign language and come to an understanding that they were really just brothers from other mothers the entire time so Snake Eyes chooses to let himself die inside the storm so that Batman can finally escape the loop once escaping Batman teleports to a new place with someone shouting to not do anything stupid no sudden moves or she's dead upon hearing that the both of them can talk Batman knows now that he's escaped the loop but still hasn't gotten his memory back but for some reason he recognizes Catwoman and wants to save her while held host ostage cwin makes a sign to go for the gun and the two collectively take down Deathstroke with perfect Synergy and while Deathstroke gets his ass handed to him he calls for a timeout and explains that he isn't their enemy surrendering himself that stroke explains that he held Catwoman hostage as a precaution because when people break free from the loop they usually come out hostile yeah right you're not fooling anyone your [ __ ] name is Deathstroke but while discussing the loop and exactly what's going on Batman gets overwhelmed with all the past lives he experienced screaming in agony which to me was very reminiscent of Death Note oddly enough that stroke tells Batman that all his memories from the loop return but not the ones from before that doesn't come back but if they want to remember they'll have to work together that's when a bunch of other fortnite skins come out from the bushes to indoctrinate Batman and Catwoman into fortnite hology where wenegade waa turns out to be the leader of the group because she's been in fortnite the longest four whole years in fortnite Batman walks up to wenegade waa and yes I'm going to keep referring to her like that because I just will asking her since she's been here the longest what she knows of the island she points to the island and says to Batman that everything that the light touches is their Kingdom I mean the world you try to set sail far enough or try jumping into the void you'll end up dying and through her time here on the island she's seen plenty of natural disasters and even a few man-made disasters as well developed by whoever controls the island among other things W waa pulls out a tablet with engraved markings that describe people from Distant Worlds coming through portals into this world meaning everyone on this island is from alternate worlds and at some point they were taken and brought into this one so going over the basics Batman commands everyone in the group to scour the island to uncover any clues on a way out of this world or any kind of device that could lead them out as well while Batman and Catwoman will go out and map out search grids based on what they already know days later the group is scoured all over the map and found nothing but impenetrable hatches that lead underground everyone in the group says to Batman that the hatch is impervious to virtually everything but Batman because he's Batman opens it with a cryptographic sequencer or some [ __ ] I don't know it's it's Batman fortnite don't think about it and tells fish stick to go underwater to search for traps upon entering through the hatch they are instantly attacked by some kind of rock monster and end up finding a bunker with several different paths that could lead to their way out so Batman splits the group into four teams of two that'll each take a passage and they'll all collectively meet back and share the right way through 3 hours from now exactly 40 minutes later bat and the cat run into a dead end so they turn back but when they arrive back at the starting point they hear someone whimpering for help help get some water as much as you can who did this to you relax I've got first aid supplies no point listen I found something under the SE my in the sand I was bringing it to you what fish tick gives to Batman is a device albeit heavily damaged that can bring someone back to the loop without the consequences of losing the holder's memory Batman wonders why someone would try to hide this kind of device but then fish tick and his dying breath Cuts in someone someone is lying they didn't escape the loop they were never in it they remember everything one of us is working for one of us is working for them moment of silence for fish sticks may you rest in peace now the next chapter is kind of just mostly filler We Begin underneath fortnite Island which when reading I said out loud to my girlfriend what are we some kind of fortnite the group ends up reuniting and they have a huge ft taking dudes down ginging 90s the whole shebang the group ends up reuniting and they have a huge fighting Montage taking down dudes grying cranking 9s the whole shebang which is a tad bit funny cuz at one point everyone is [ __ ] on these Bots and when one one of them kills the other to Save a Life Batman halts everything to be the referee and say no killing because killing is bad and to make a long short story short the for knite take down the the the oldfashioned way and they eventually stumble into a huge room where at the center is the zero point the key to their returning home but one of the members with the flamy skull face tries to destroy the zero point to go anywhere and do anything for all of eternity until it sucks him into the zero point and rips him apart from the inside out spreading him across different dimensions and different places es for all of eternity yes he ain't going to be in fortnite 2o after that pck me [ __ ] the group look around the room and find a terminal that can control the zero point and I'm really honestly not sure how to explain this next bit properly whatsoever but they figure out how to connect the zero Point's power to open a rift to their individual worlds but they need a sort of conduit to open the rift Wade way to volunteers and when the group man the equipment they begin to open the rift the rift crackles open and wenegade waa just charges towards the rift going back to her home world upon the rift closing they remain amazed that what they did actually worked until Batman's like yeah I know you killed fish dick you piece of [ __ ] the traitor of the group turned out to be none other than Deathstroke I would have never guessed that the bloke who's first appearance in the story being the guy who held the love interest at [ __ ] gunpoint was the traitor or anything so they fight for a bit and after a bit of fighting deadstroke gets tired and decides to take a nap for a while after which the remaining members of the group all make their way home leaving just Batman Catwoman and Deathstroke left to return themselves but oh no Deathstroke got this zomies he breaks out of his bindings and pulls out a device that can help him navigate through the zero point and back to the DC Universe luckily for the bat and the cat deadstroke is a silly goofy little guy and sometimes gets Butterfingers so he accidentally drops the device that can get the bat and the cat back home but because DC was obligated to make a six issue series for Batman fortnite they can't just leave fortnite and go home it's never that simple because in order to get home they need enough multiversal energy from three people and what's 3 - one well it's not enough to get them home but luckily for the duo they remember one player among the Battle Royale that had the motion to kill anyone in sight Harley Quinn the bat and the cat used the device left behind by De stroke to control the zero point to bring them back where it all started because the device is stuck on that setting because of plot they teleport in and grapple onto the battle bus to survey the land and find Harley before the 22 minutes are up and the loop starts over again moments pass and the Duos spot Harley in the middle of the map eviscerating everyone in her path the duo triy to approach Harley but she instantly goes into combat mode and while fighting the converse with each other that they wish they could just tell her that they just want to take her back home until Harley shouts at the top of her lungs that she doesn't want to go home and maybe just likes playing fortnite she loves the fighting the flossing the total Bonkers craziness of the island she feels at home in fortnite and plans on staying until Batman shows Harley that the Hammers of Justice are in fact unisex my fortnite code is Comic mullet after collecting Harley for their escape and they think they're going to finally get a clean break nah the evil fortnite Skins are arrive and Catwoman says the f- word in fortnite getting overwhelmed by dark versions of themselves they riff themselves back to the zero point and can finally breathe they connect Harley to the devices as a conduit and successfully open a rift back to Gotham City and yet Harley wakes up and swing kicks the both of them in the face and runs back to play more fortnite leaving the bat and the cat alone to talk amongst themselves and interestingly Catwoman feels like they should stay Batman asks why the change of heart after everything they've been through and Catwoman yells back that she's scared scared they may be enemies back home or strangers or married to other people scared that they'll lose what they have once they return Batman agrees with Catwoman that he's just as scared but feels like there are people back home that may be counting on him and with that feeling of obligation he has to go back home it's just who he is so the pairs swallow their fear and both take a leap of faith that once they return they'll be married or something just as good blasting through the rift they land back in Gotham completely fine and in a flat lash the pair remember everything again and I should remind y'all while watching eating your five guys or drinking coffee and studying for some exam that stressing you out that I know you'll pass so don't stress so much this takes place in the main continuity so they both remember how they were going to get married until Catwoman dipped at the last second because she thought if Batman were to ever be happy there'd be no more Batman personally I'm not really a big fan and think they should just be married but [ __ ] me right so they step away from one another and Catwoman says in an utterly hard heartbreaking set of panels that she told Batman they should have just stayed this isn't a fortnite comic what the [ __ ] all jokes aside I really love this Batman fortnite story it's fun different and exciting since I love movies or stories where the main character has to retrace his or her steps to solve what is exactly going on especially the whole Groundhog Day on top of it with the added factor of having to write notes to each other so that when they next spawn in on a clean slate they can remember what to do next it's amazing writing in my opinion and for a collab comic it's surprisingly wellmade in the sense that even if you were to know absolutely nothing about fortnite the comic basically goes over everything for you to understand from the players the map the storm zones and even the amount of time of matches which I'm a little embarrassed to say was something I learned from this comic I also love the art and I love how the relationship between Batman and Catwoman is written like they are two people with clean slates just magnetically drawn together destined to be together blissfully ignorant of each other's past until at the very end they're painfully reminded that the future they may want together may never come to pass the lore is also pretty neat fish stick's death really impacted me on a spiritual level and W waa went back to plane universe so that's pretty cool but yeah that's Atman fortnite I hope yall like this video leave a like check out my Twitter use my fortnite code or I'll rip apart some of my favorite comics and don't forget to leave a like And subscribe subscribe subscribe you should subscribe I'm just doing this cuz I heard the sub button does a little thing when I say subscribe so subscribe you should subscribe and as always I'll catch y'all on the flip side turns out the entire plot trapping Batman in fortnite was because of the Batman who laughs isn't it so [ __ ] weird that wherever you go in Batman media he'll just be there I quite literally have no idea anymore where his Story begins or where it ends but yeah deuces
