The Penguin Episode 6 Recap and Spoiler Review — What is the Gold Summit?
With business booming, new faces are joining the fray as Oz prepares to take on rivals like the Maronis and Gigantes. Amidst all that, there are some cheeky references that might just be a reference to Tim Burton’sBatman Returns!
In a tense scene, Oz corners a councilman in a parking lot on his way home, and, let’s just say, things get pretty messy. With a pair of pliers in hand, he starts getting up close and personal with the guy’s nose while demanding some action on Crown Point’s power issues.
It’s a wild moment that could definitely remind fans of that unforgettable scene inBatman Returnswhere Penguin takes a literal bite out of Wally Schmidt’s nose. Oz is clearly channeling his inner villain in a way that’s both terrifying and oddly entertaining.

While it’s a bit unclear if that moment was a direct nod to Tim Burton’s masterpiece, there are definitely some standout Easter eggs in Episode 6 that fans won’t want to miss inThe Penguin!
Right off the bat, we see Victor Aguilar zooming through Gotham’s access tunnels on a motorcycle, heading to the central trolley hub. This setup feels reminiscent of the opening scenes from 2022’sThe Batman.
The episode also brings back the LoBoys, a gang with comic roots, who previously clashed with Penguin in Fox’sGotham. Oz also has a nostalgic moment, asking his mom if she remembers“Pauli’s Diner,”a nod toArkham Knight.

The Penguin is streaming on Max.
