Catwoman: Hunted is being written by Gargoyles creator and Young Justice co-creator Greg Weisman, with an expected release date of early 2022.
Wonder Woman arrives in Fortnite
Fortnite is getting even more heroic with the addition of a Wonder Woman skin when the Amazonian Warrior leaves Themyscira and lands in the game to fight alongside her fellow Justice League members.
Diana Prince’s outfit will come with a battle armor variant as well as her iconic regular costume. Of course, the outfit won’t be the only cosmetic for the Amazonian hero. She’ll also be released alongside Athena’s Battleaxe gathering tool, the Golden Eagle Wings glider, Diana’s Mantle back bling, and a DC Trinity loading screen where she poses with Batman and Superman.
Fortnite’s Wonder Woman skin will be released on August 19th. To celebrate the release of the new outfit, Epic will also host the Wonder Woman Cup tournament and give players a few challenges to complete. Any team that earns eight points or more in the tournament will receive the Honorary Amazons Loading Screen.
