Jenna Duffy was a pickpocket and con artist operating out of Keystone City who moved to Gotham when she attracted unwanted police attention. Eventually, she was enlisted by Tweedledum and Tweedledee to serve as the "Carpenter" for their new Wonderland Gang. The gang has been incarcerated by Batman at least twice, but she appears to continue to be an active member. She debuted in 2008.

History

The Detective Comics

Her first appearance is in Detective Comics #841, where Batman investigates a growing new team of costumed crooks, "The Wonderland Gang". Led by the Mad Hatter and featuring Tweedledum and Tweedledee, they quickly amass high-class muscle from all over Gotham dressed as different Lewis Carroll characters, such as the Carpenter, the Walrus, the Lion, the Unicorn, and the March Hare. Finding the crimes somewhat amiss, Batman eventually tracks the gang down to the House of Mirrors at the Gotham Amusement Park. He finds Tetch, the Mad Hatter, spinning aimlessly on the Teacups ride. Sure enough, Tetch is victim of one of his own mind-controlling chips, which Batman removes. He then goes in and confronts the gangs real leaders,

Tweedledum and Tweedledee. While Batman is battling the rest of the Wonderland gang, Tweedledum and Tweedledee both escape outside only to be subdued by the Mad Hatter, who beats them both unconscious with an oar. Batman calls Jim Gordon to tell him where to pick the gang up, and to make sure his men know to take it easy with Jervis Tetch, who really hadn't done anything wrong.

She makes an appearance with few of her new friends, the Walrus and the Tweeds, in Detective Comics #847, where they made another attempt to commit their crimes, but while Batman was busy going against Hush, Nightwing, Robin, Catwoman, and Zatanna apprehended the Wonderland Gang once again.

She is called by Catwoman and Poison Ivy, who are in a life and death situation, and comes to the rescue to aid them. In Gotham City Sirens #7, she is finished with the repairs and demanded more money from Catwoman, since she did her job 'legally', which Catwoman agreed, due to Jenna saving her and Pam's lives.

She made her recent appearance in Batman: Streets of Gotham comics. In Batman: Streets of Gotham #12, she is requested by a new villian, that goes by the name of the Director. This business is handed by her partner, the Broker. She got his respect when his bodyguards ambushed her, but she defeated them. Her job is to fill a stage, full of death traps, and Batman will the main actor who dies and the Director will film it all. She is done, and figures that she could leave, but the goons ambush her quietly and take her.

Yet, in Batman: Streets of Gotham #13, she makes a huge discovery that not only will Batman die on the stage, but herself as well. Her first attempt to escape, failed when the Director and his goons stopped her. After a while, she hints Batman, of all the traps she put for him. The Director holds her at gunpoint, but she puts him in a pool filled with electric eels. She escapes with her life and Batman easily defeats the Director on his own stage. She tells to Batman, about her supposed abduction, her forced labor without pay, and that he was going to kill her. Batman informed her that she leave Gotham, but as she found work in Keystone again, the Broker called and persuaded her to come work for him with Mr. Freeze, and the pay will be in diamonds. She returns right back to Gotham.
