Many of Marquis's guests at his party are dressed in harlequin like outfits. This being a reference to Harley Quinn. Specifically her classic motif.
Luke's cover for entering Marquis's party as an MMA fighter is a nod to his comics counterpart who is a boxer and MMA fighter.
When confronting Luke, Marquis wonders if he has a portable access point for his Batwing suit. This being a reference to the suit's recall feature from the comics.
Behind the scenes
Throughout the episode, the use of set design to transition between the present day and flashbacks bears a striking resemblance to Arrow, which used the same form of cinematography in nearly every episode.
