‘The Flash’ 3.01 “Flashpoint” Easter Eggs

5. Joe Is Pretty Much Thomas Wayne

In my personal favorite Flashpoint easter egg, the show made a huge callback to an infamous scene from the animated movie (which took inspiration from a slightly altered scene in the comic story line). In the animated film, Reverse-Flash is just about to finish Barry near the end when out of nowhere Thomas Wayne pops in and shoots Thawne in the head. Now, the show wasn’t nearly as graphic as showing a giant hole blown in The Rival’s head, but Joe saved Barry from The Rival in the exact same fashion that Thomas saved him from Thawne in the animated version. It was a small nod that a lot of viewers who have never seen the animated film may have not caught, but it was there, and it was awesome. The only thing that could have been even more awesome is going the route of the original comic story line, which showed Thomas Wayne impaling Thawne through the chest… much in the way Wally was impaled earlier in the episode, come to think of it.
