How to Find the Batman Sprite in Fortnite Runners and Use Its Mythic Power
Fortnite players are getting a big DC-style update with “Hot Bat Summer,” packed with new cosmetics and gameplay additions, including a Batman Beach Buggy vehicle, fresh bosses, and more. The headline feature is the arrival of new Sprites, and right now many players are specifically chasing the Batman Sprite. Even though the Batman Sprite is classified as Mythic, there’s an efficient way to obtain it quickly in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3. There’s also a separate limited-time free-skin opportunity tied to playing on Fortnite Mobile—here’s how to claim that one too.
Key takeaways
- The “Hot Bat Summer” event brings DC-themed additions such as a Batman Beach Buggy, new bosses, and additional content.
- The most effective route to the Batman Sprite involves challenging the Catwoman NPC near the beach south of Wonkeeland.
- After defeating Catwoman, you have a high chance of receiving the base Batman Sprite.
- You can also obtain Batman Sprite variants through Hot Bat Summer quests, Sprite Chests, and other listed methods (some with RNG).
- The Batman Sprite lets you jump and deploy the Bat Cape, similar to the Batman Grapnel Gun Mythic, but with a short cooldown after use.

The fastest and most reliable approach to the Batman Sprite in Fortnite is to take on the Catwoman NPC. She can be spotted near the shoreline south of Wonkeeland and will remain passive until you decide to challenge her. Once you initiate the challenge, Catwoman turns hostile. If you defeat her, she can drop the base Batman Sprite, and the article notes her chance of doing so is high.
Besides Catwoman, there are other routes to earn the Batman Sprite and its Special variants. Some of these approaches involve randomness, and because the Batman Sprite is Mythic, the overall drop likelihood is relatively low. The additional methods listed are:
- Hot Bat Summer Quests (the base version is unlocked as a Bonus Reward)
- Sprite Chests (including both base and Special variants)
- Chests (including both base and Special variants)
- Sprite Locator (a new Gizmo)
- Dropped by other players (via eliminations or trading)
There are multiple Special versions of the Batman Sprite available this season, with the possibility of more arriving later. The Special variants currently listed are:
- Gold
- Gummy
- Galaxy
- Holofoil
- Cube
Once you manage to obtain any of the Batman Sprite versions above, the recommendation is to store it using a Portable Extractor to keep it safe in your collection. The reasoning given is that, aside from beating Catwoman, the item is relatively uncommon—so risking it at an Extraction Point isn’t considered worth the trouble. If you’re still hunting for another version, the article also points players toward a dedicated “Sprite Loot Path” to help find the remaining variants.
What Does the Batman Sprite Do in Fortnite?
The Batman Sprite is another Sprite option built for players who like to reposition quickly across the map. When equipped, it allows you to launch upward by using a jump and then deploy the Bat Cape, functioning in a similar way to the Batman Grapnel Gun Mythic item. Each activation includes a brief cooldown before you can use it again.
