Jedward 'immortalised as comic villains'

Characters apparently inspired by The X Factor's John & Edward have been drawn as thugs in the latest issue of Batman and Robin.

John and Edward Grimes, 18, are seemingly portrayed as villians in the magazine, produced by DC Comics, The Sun reports.

The strip was drawn for the American comic by British artists Grant Morrison and Andy Clarke.

In last year's X Factor, the Grimes brothers became famous for their rendition of the theme to comic book favourite 'Ghostbusters'.
