## Key points

- Fortnite's new Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn skins restricted to 13+ modes
- Part of "Hot Bat Summer" Batman-themed promotion
- Reflects Fortnite's recent trend towards more revealing skins

## Summary

Fortnite has released new swimwear skins for DC characters Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn as part of a "Hot Bat Summer" promotion, but has restricted both to game modes rated for players aged 13 and over. Epic Games has rarely applied such age restrictions before, having previously done so only for skins with horror elements, such as Venom or the Alien Xenomorph, making this a notable move given the outfits' revealing designs rather than any frightening content.

The promotion also adds Batman-themed items to battle royale, including gadgets, a gliding Batmobile and a Batman Sprite, alongside new Batman and Catwoman skins in the item shop. The restriction mainly affects third-party creator-made modes with lower age ratings, as the skins remain usable in all main battle royale modes, and both characters also have LEGO minifigure versions. The update follows a broader relaxation of Fortnite's skin guidelines since late last year, including more revealing female outfits and "jiggle physics", and coincides with the addition of skins for David Beckham and Matt Damon, plus a trailer featuring singer Addison Rae.
