Very little is known about The Kabuki Twins, besides that they are the silent henchwomen of the villain The Penguin in the television series "The Batman". They do not appear in the Batman mainstream comics and were created for the TV series, but they do have an occasional appearance in the spinoff comic book series "
The Batman Strikes! " It has, however, been revealed in an issue of said comic that their names are Gale and Peri (or Perry).Their first appearance was in "Call of the Cobblepot" (episode 3 of "The Batman"), in which they were, for the first half of the episode, mysterious Asian women who followed The Penguin everywhere he went. After Batman found one of them collecting stolen jewelry from a bird, though, it was made clear that they were no ordinary girls. The two of them used their expert fighting skills to beat up the
Batman and almost run him over.After they kidnapped
Alfred Pennyworth when they caught him trespassing on the Penguin's manor, Batman came to save Alfred and locked the twins in a cage. They ended up catching the Penguin, but when they checked back on the Kabuki Twins, they had escaped. They have had several appearances since then. The two girls have never spoken.Costumes
The two twins have red costumes with blades attached to their hands. It is unknown whether the blades are a part of their bodies, or a part of their costumes.
