WhileFortniteis available as a free download, Epic Games has also released retail bundles for it over the years that include some exclusive cosmetics and other items. The latestFortniteretail bundle comes as part of a collaboration between Epic Games and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and it will be available to purchase beginning November 17.
The newFortnitebundle is Joker-themed, and it’s calledFortnite: The Last Laugh Bundle. It will retail for $29.99, so in-line with pastFortniteretail bundles, and it will also be available digitally as well. Those that do decide to purchase it will get their hands on 1,000V-Bucksthat they can use to purchase other cosmetics or the Battle Pass, and skins based onBatmanvillains The Joker and Poison Ivy. A Midas Rex skin, seemingly a new look forFortnite’s own King Midas, will also be available in the bundle.

Fortnitefans that purchase the bundle can also get three back blings: Laugh Riot, Back Bloom, and Midas Crest, which correspond to The Joker, Poison Ivy, andMidas Rex, respectively. The Joker will also have two pickaxes, Bad Joke and The Joker’s Revenge, whereas Poison' Ivy’s pickaxe is called Ivy Axe, and Midas Rex’s pickaxe is called Kingmaker. And finally, players will also be able to equip the exclusive Pick A Card contrail which is, as one might have guessed, yet another cosmetic item themed after The Joker.
Fortnite: The Last Laugh Bundleis just the latest collaboration between the popular battle royale game and DC Comics. The first came in the form of a specialBatmanin-game eventthat included a slew ofBatman-themed content and also made some significant changes to the battle royale map, transforming the fan-favorite location Tilted Towers into Gotham City.

There was also some Harley Quinn DLC added toFortniteto help promote theBirds of Preymovie that released in theaters this past February.
WhileFortnitehas had plenty of crossovers with DC Comics, it has also had content based on Marvel Comics as well.
