** While Bruce and Barry are travelling through the time stream, they see images of the Silver Age origin of the Justice League, Zatanna wiping Bruce's memory in ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'' and Barry's death from ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''. While Bruce assumes these are alternate universes, Barry is pretty sure they're the history that was stolen from the DCU.

** When asked how he knew that Flashpoint!Batman was his father, Bruce mentions that his dad had a certain way of carrying himself. This is a character point established in ''ComicBook/BatmanRebirth'', which had Bruce describe Thomas as carrying himself with dignity and being difficult to approach.

** [[spoiler:Thomas]] telling Bruce to "let Batman die" plays on the narration in the "I am Gotham" arc of ''ComicBook/BatmanRebirth''. Some narration from Gotham Girl makes it clear that Batman ''does'' die in Tom King's run, just not how or whether he literally dies or if it's just a symbolic death. This idea was also played with in ''The Flash'' #21, with it hinting that Batman may have died from his fight with Reverse-Flash. Noticeably, in a case of averting TrailersAlwaysSpoil, the arc after ''The Button'' in ''Batman'' is a story taking place ''in the past''.

* RealityEnsues: As skilled as Bruce may be, it's made clear that no amount of prep time will make him a match for someone who can move faster than he can blink.

--->He pummeled Batman, wrecked his cave, [[EvilIsPetty and destroyed the message his father left him]] while Bats could only look on helplessly. And after ''years'' and '''''years''''' of DC saying [[MartyStu "Batman is the greatest hero ever]] [[CrazyPrepared because he has a plan to stop everybody, and he is prepared for everything,]] [[InvincibleHero and he can take on any villain because of prep time]]", just watching a full issue of Thawne coming in and saying, [[HaHaHaNo "Ha ha ha, no you can't, you idiot!"]] and beating him senselessly, yeah, it was kind of chilling.
