Fortnite is finally ready to show a little skin. Epic Games and DC have declared — seemingly evoking Megan Thee Stallion — that it’s officially Hot Bat Summer by sending Gotham City’s heroes and supervillains to the beach in revealing swimwear. On Tuesday, Epic offered a peek at a new DC Comics collaboration coming to Fortnite that’s raising eyebrows for its surprising levels of exposure.

In artwork teasing Fortnite‘s imminent Hot Bat Summer, we see beach-ready bikini versions of Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn being pursued by Batman wearing only his cowl, trunks, and flip-flops. Ace the Bat-Hound is also in pursuit, confirming Fortnite‘s latest Sidekick pet. While anyone who has paid attention to the type of summer-themed skins from competitors like Marvel Rivals and Overwatch won’t be incensed by Fortnite‘s decision to finally bring sexy swimwear, the reveal is still sending some players into a tizzy. Pearls have officially been clutched.

But it appears that DC is quite comfortable with its female villains and antiheroes wearing what regular human beings actually wear to the beach.
