Tweedledum and Tweedledee (Dumfree and Deever Tweed) are fictional DC Comics characters, primarily as enemies of Batman. The characters first appeared in Detective Comics 74 # (04 1943), and were created by Bob Kane, Jerry Robinson and Don Cameron. History
Lazy and obese, Tweedledum and Tweedledee have no fighting skills at all. They rely on their cunning and relentless strategies to commit crimes. Dumfree and Deever Tweed are cousins who resemble each other so closely that they are often confused with identical twins. The pair are known as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, both because it is a play on words in their real names, and because they closely resemble the depictions of John Tenniel in the Lewis Carroll story "Alice in Wonderland." The two tweeds always carry out their criminal activities in association with others. They prefer regimes of criminal ingenuity and how their henchmen carry out any necessary physical activity. They often use their extraordinary resemblance to fool their opponents into thinking that there is only one of them. Tweedledum and Tweedledee had their first encounter with Batman and Robin when a wave of crime began in Gotham City. Batman and Robin have fought against them and have defeated them on numerous occasions.
The couple makes an appearance in Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, as the inmates in Arkham Asylum. In this incarnation, they are linked together by a pair of electroshock helmets, with Tweedledum representing the right half of the brain, and Tweedledee the left.
Tweedledum and Tweedledee are also often the henchmen of The Clown of the Crime Joker. In Batman Arkham Asylum comes a "Go up and down" and at each end of that game out their hats. In the Comic Volume # 1 of Batman Arkham Knight they come out repeatedly and in one of those they leave with a third twin that is henchman of the "Penguin" called "Tweedle Die". Powers and Abilities
Tweedledum and Tweedledee have powers, their fatty bodies can bounce and roll at will. Tweedledum has the speed of a thousand-year-old hawk and Tweedledee has the strength of a gorilla.
