Yeah, as limited as the wider storyline is in this series, I hope there is at least a little progression at some point that makes him ease up. Egotistical Donnie is wearing a bit thin.

And given the relationship he and Leo tend to have in most other versions, being the most alike and work well together, it's kind of sad that it seems nonexistent here for this set.
Aside from them being paired off as twins. It hasn't been openly stated that they are twins, at least not yet. We only know the two of them are 14 years old and the way they occasionally interact in the background of the episodes does suggest a fraternal twin-like relationship.




Meaning the only true thing counting them as twins would be they are the same age, they are turtles, and they both share Lou Jitsu as a biological father to an extent since his DNA was added to theirs when they mutated, but similarities stop there.


Then again there are more types of twins aside from Identical and Fraternal.

Since both Leo and Donnie are two different Species of Turtle, it would make more sense to say they are Superfecundation Twins. This is when a set of twins have the same mother, but each child is the product of a different father. Except in Leo and Donnie's case, they are were born of two different species of Turtle but have the same quasi-biological father which would be Splinter AKA Lou Jitsu.

It's certainly a different take on them being two sides of the same coin.
