UPDATE 1: Fortnite have tweeted the first teaser for Season 4:
As of writing, Epic Games surprised everyone earlier today by releasing a teaser, hinting at a superhero theme for the new season. There were theories that Season 4 would include aliens, due to the meteors and the comet in the sky, you can read more about that here.
Looking further into the teaser hinting towards superheroes, we did some more research into Epic Games. The parent company of Epic Games is Tencent, owning the majority share of the company with 40%. Tencent also owns many other well known companies such as Riot Games, best known for one of the most popular games in the world, League of Legends.
Strike of Kings/Arena of Valor, published by Tencent Games, features licenced DC Comic superheroes. Some of these Superheroes include, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and The Flash. Seeing as Tencent have already managed to acquire the license of DC Comic Superheroes from Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc./Time Warner, it is plausible that Tencent would be able to acquire the license for Fortnite skins.
Strike of Kings, known as Honor of Kings in China, has an estimated player base of 200 million per month as of December 2017. It had monthly gross sales of at least 2 billion Yuan ($291 million) in China alone. Epic announced that Fortnite is going to be released in China with the help of Tencent, which could help Fortnite obtain the license for DC Comic Superhero themed cosmetics.
There has been no official statement from Epic Games to confirm this, this is all speculation.
We look forward to the launch of Season 4 and what it will bring.
Some players in the Fortnite community have created some Superhero skin concepts like the one below:

I WANT VBUCKS BADLY PARENTS WONT BR ME THEM I STILL HAVE A GENERIC SKIN AHHHHH
Get a job
Quit being an entitled little brat. Get a job twat.
Chill. The kids probably like 10 and can’t get a job. Watch the way you talk to people Tyler.
Bro that’s sad, lay off the kid eh
Go to play station store and u can down load a free character And glider
There’s 3 days left before the season ends and there’s also 3 empty tiles on the picture. My suggestion is they are going to show us one character/skin per day and the last one is going to be batman 😀
No one knows for sure maby the three are going to be villins or made up hero’s who knows
The morse code of the tv says “they dont want us to k….”
You can make it” they dont want us to know/kill
Superheroes dont want us to kill.
villians do tho
I think the skins will be Captain America (bottom right) Wonder Woman (top right) Batman, The Flash, and I’m gonna guess Deadpool
They will have to get rights from marvel to do Deadpool and captain America and I don’t think that will happen for them to cross dc and marvel
Cap is marvel and Batman is DC u dummyhead hey would’nt be together
Dead pool would be lit asf
We need joker and Harley Quinn
Your silly dc hero’s, not marvel. So no cesspool no captain America..
fortnite i was thinking in season 4 can you add that you can trade skins and vbucks i think it would help other people so they wont be called noobs
maybe you’re called a noob because you’re bad at the game not because you don’t have a skin.
Clyde why don’t you stop trolling kids and grow up?
Devin ^ he protec the young ones
David, I am a big fan of Batman and I totally agree with you! Nice prediction!!
I like fortnite, i play fortnite, i wait for update, you have potato interwebs
Please Batman… The Green Arrow would also be cool
We need a Kratos skin
Anyone know what date and time (UK time) season 4 is going to be launched??
