That was a reference to famous Batman villain Penguin. He is prominent character in many Batman related adaptations and most relatable I can think of is Batman Returns where the main villain Penguin used army of penguins to bomb the city.

Answer 2
LEGO Batman: The Videogame has Penguin using seemingly mechanical penguin bombs. Demonstrated starting around 5:32 in this video. (This is a player-controlled Penguin deploying the penguins.)
The 1988 Amiga game, Batman: The Caped Crusader had wind-up penguins. I recall them having flip-top heads hiding knee-high guns, but I do not recall them exploding.
