    • Trivia
      Barry Allen refers to a journalistic "Arkham exposé". Arkham, of course, refers to Arkham Asylum, the facility which first appeared in Batman comics in 1974 and was later featured in many Batman TV shows and films. However, this episode aired before Arkham appeared or received mention in any of the Batman TV shows or films, thus the first TV or movie reference to Arkham was in a Flash TV show, not a Batman related adaptation.
