Oz commits many crimes throughout the course of the show, including burning Sal Maroni"s wife and son alive, but the series also reveals the reasons that are driving Oz to do things in such a brutal manner. Sure, the Penguin wants to be powerful and respected, but there is another special reason behind his mission to take over as Gotham"s new crime boss, and that connects him with Batman in a way.
