Abramovici Twins

Abramovici Twins

TheAbramovici Twins are a pair of enemies that were found inBatman: Arkham City. They were conjoined twins from the USSR who were picked up by theJoker due to their odd condition. The Joker had the two separated intoMr. Hammer andSickle to work for him because of their fitness levels. Preceding the events of Arkham City, Sickle left the Joker and went to work for thePenguin instead.

Incident Reports[]

Before Arkham City Incident[]

The Abramovici Twins were born in a small Siberian village, and their father, Andrei, was a poor shoe-maker. Their mother died unfortunately during labor, which caused Andrei to resent his conjoined sons. Andrei tried to drown them in a river near the village, but when he saw a wolf-mother playing with her two pups nearby, he remembered his responsibility as a parent, and hindered himself. But Andrei had neither the strength nor the will to raise his sons, so he abandoned them by the doorstep of a local circus. The twins grew up as part of a freak show, but no one knew about their monstrous strength until they killed a tiger that attacked the audience. They soon received the nicknames "Hammer and Sickle" because of their individual weapons. The Joker heard about them and used Harley Quinn to try to recruit them forhis gang. When the circus-owner refused to sell them, either Joker or Harley killed him with a knife and transported the twins toGotham City.

Arkham City Incident[]

After he set up his base of operations at theSteel Mill inArkham City, Joker realized that the twin's conjoinment hindered them during battle, so he hiredHush to surgically separate them. After not thinking that he needed more than one giant-sized henchman, Joker orderedHarley Quinn to get rid of Sickle. Later, Penguin found a one-armed man dumped outside his doorstep with a note that mockingly said "wingless bird". Sickle was brought in and recruited as a member ofPenguin's Gang.

WhenBatman infiltrated the Steel Mill to interrogate Joker aboutProtocol 10, Mr. Hammer tried to stop him, but was defeated.

Later, Batman attacked Penguin's base at theMuseum in order to freeMr. Freeze. Sickle ambushed and assaulted him in theMuseum War Room, but he suffered the same defeat as his brother.

After Joker's defeat and death, the twins could be found in the Steel Mill at the Assembly Line sitting together in a secluded room. The twins addressed how they never should have parted ways to begin with, decided to work together again, and believed themselves to be unstoppable as a duo.

Before Arkham Knight Incident[]

Both of the Abramovici Twins were sewn back together and Sickle's mouth stuffed with straw byScarecrow to send Penguin a message.
