The Batman Sprite Fortnite players wanted is finally live in Chapter 7 Season 3, and unlike most Sprites you hunt for in chests, this Mythic has a near-guaranteed route: beat a DC Boss NPC. It is the first DC collaboration Sprite in the game, it gives you a Bat Cape glide that works like a mini Glider Redeploy, and there are multiple ways to add it and its variants to your collection.
Here is exactly how to get the Batman Sprite, what its ability does, every variant, and the resummon costs.
How to Get the Batman Sprite
The Batman Sprite is a Mythic Sprite added in the v41.20 update as part of the DC Hot Bat Summer event. There are three routes to get it, but they are not equal. One is near-guaranteed and fast, one is a guaranteed quest reward, and the rest come down to random loot.
The fastest and most reliable method by a wide margin is defeating a DC Boss NPC. If you just want the base Sprite in your Sprite slot quickly, that is the route to take every time.
Fastest Method: Defeat a DC Boss
Three DC villain NPCs are scattered across the map: Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy. All three are passive by default, so they will not attack you on sight. You have to start the fight yourself, and defeating any one of them has a high chance of dropping the base Batman Sprite.
Catwoman is the easiest target. She patrols the beach directly south of Wonkeeland, and her spot tends to be less contested than the other two NPC locations, making it a solid first landing.
Here is how the Catwoman fight works:
- Land at the beach south of Wonkeeland and grab the first weapon you find, since other players may try to reach her first
- Approach Catwoman and select the “Duel: Challenge Catwoman” dialogue option, which turns her hostile
- Fight her. She only uses an SMG, so a medium-range weapon lets you fight from a distance where her SMG cannot melt your health up close. She can also leap during the fight, so track where she lands
- Keep firing to strip her shields and health until she is defeated
- On defeat, she drops the Mythic Catwoman’s Rapid Fire SMG and, with a high chance, the base Batman Sprite. Walk over the Sprite to collect it
- Extract it with a Portable Extractor or at an Extraction Site to add it to your collection permanently
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy work the same way at their own locations, if their spots are less crowded on your match.
Other Ways to Get It
Beyond the NPC fight, there are additional routes to the Batman Sprite, though most rely on RNG and the Mythic drop rate is low:
- Hot Bat Summer Quests. Completing the majority of the DC Hot Bat Summer event missions unlocks the base Batman Sprite as a Bonus Reward. This is the only other guaranteed route outside the NPC fight. Harley Quinn’s “Wrecking is Relaxing” quests also award it.
- Chests, Rare Chests, and Sprite Chests. The Sprite can drop randomly from any chest type, with Sprite Chests carrying the best odds. This is the main way to find the Special variants, since the NPC fight only drops the base version.
- Sprite Locator. This gizmo points you toward nearby Sprite Chests, improving your odds of a variant.
- Eliminating a carrier. If another player has a Batman Sprite, defeating them lets you grab it, potentially already levelled up.
One important clarification: defeating Catwoman only drops the base Batman Sprite. The Special variants like Holofoil are tied to random loot, so you cannot farm the NPC for a specific finish.
What the Batman Sprite Does?
When equipped and used in midair, the Batman Sprite boosts you upward and deploys the Bat Cape, giving you a glider-style redeploy in the middle of a match. It functions much like the Batman Grapnel mobility items from past events: you can reposition quickly, cross gaps, break line of sight, or rotate toward a Driveable Reboot Van.
The launch goes on a short cooldown after each use, so you cannot chain it endlessly for constant airtime. Even with that limit, it sits among the more useful mobility Sprites this season. The distance you cover depends on your deployment height, so using it from higher ground extends the glide.
If you prefer the most accessible mobility option, Shock Rocks are easier to come by, but for a reusable glide that fits into your Sprite slot, the Batman Sprite is a strong pick.
All Batman Sprite Variants
There are eight Batman Sprite variants to collect as the season progresses, though not all are available at once. Each variant keeps the base Bat Cape glide ability and stacks its own bonus on top. The confirmed variants and their bonuses:
| Variant | Bonus (on top of the base glide ability) |
|---|---|
| Base | Bat Cape glide, no added bonus |
| Gold | 3x bonus XP from eliminations |
| Gummy | 20% more Sprite Dust on Extraction |
| Galaxy | 30% more ammunition when looting |
| Holofoil | 5% chance for your squad to find rare Sprite variants in chests |
The remaining variants, including a Cube Batman Sprite, arrive later in the season. The Special variants are found through random loot rather than the Catwoman fight, and their unlocks may be tied to Weekly Quests and the Hot Bat Summer event.
Resummon Costs
Once you own a Batman Sprite, you can resummon it in future matches using Sprite Dust, earned by extracting Sprites. Following a cost reduction, the current Sprite Dust prices are:
- Base variant: 6,750 Sprite Dust (reduced from 7,500)
- Special variants: 10,000 Sprite Dust (reduced from 15,000)
The reduction makes running a Special variant like the Holofoil noticeably more affordable per match than at launch.
The Batman Sprite is one of the easiest Mythic Sprites to get this season thanks to the near-guaranteed Catwoman drop, and its Bat Cape glide is a genuinely useful mobility tool once it is in your slot. Grab the base version from Catwoman first, then chase the Special variants through Sprite Chests if you want the collection.
