DC and Marvel's collaborations with Fortnite could be the route to a new comic crossover. Fortnite's multiverse connects it to both fictional universes, with Batman's Fortnite adventure only recently concluded and Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War coming soon.
While Marvel and DC Comics crossovers are seemingly a thing of the past, a surprising source may hold the key to allowing these beloved fictional universes to intersect. In the current era where Warner Bros. owns DC and Disney has Marvel, the Avengers and Justice League never cross paths as they once did from time to time. However, both publishers have relationships with Epic Games to create crossovers between their universes and the ever-popular Fortnite.
Marvel's relationship with Epic Games and Fornite began in 2018, beginning with a limited-time game mode where players could equip the weapons of the Avengers and fight Thanos. However, 2020 saw the arrival of the Nexus War, an entire Marvel-themed season of Fortnite featuring skins of popular heroes culminating in a major battle with Galactus. The season also had a single-issue tie-in comic which served as a prelude.
Seeing as how the last Marvel/DC crossover was 2004's JLA/Avengers from Kurt Busiek and George Perez , a new crossover is still largely a long shot. That being said, if any entertainment entity has the pull to get both publishers to work together it would be Epic Games. As unconventional as it may seem, Fortnite could be the vehicle to finally make a new crossover happen for fans of both universes.
Putting Marvel and DC heroes together for a massive battle royale for the ages seems like it would be a win for all parties involved: publishers, developers, and fans alike. Regardless of whether comic readers are fans of Fortnite or not, it may be one of the only feasible ways for a Marvel and DC Comics crossover to happen in the modern era. At the very least, here's hoping Gage and Mustard throw in some DC Easter eggs when Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War releases this June.
