* RealityEnsues: What happens when you, arguably the strongest being on your world, runs into someone who is just as strong as you are, with an even stronger ComboPlatterPowers set? Feelings of inadequacy.

* {{Adorkable}}: [[Franchise/TheFlash Barry]] and [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] when they're bantering, as well as Alex when she meets Artemis.

!! Flip a Coin contains examples of:

* AdaptationalSexuality: Given the ambiguous wording when he's talking about people he's slept with as well as his mentioned attraction to both Superman and Supergirl, Mon-El is apparently bisexual.

* {{Adorkable}}: Barry and Kara when they're bantering, as well as Alex when she meets Artemis.

* AlternateSelf: It turns out that Barry ''does'' have a doppelganger on Earth-38: Detective Barry West, who's father actually ''did'' kill his mother, and was subsequently adopted by Joe West.

* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Or rather, the Artemis Crock Gambit. Her plan hinges on Kara making assumptions and not informing Alex about something important, as well as running off without consulting her team.]]

* ChildhoodFriend: Barry and Iris.

* FreudianSlip: Barry and Kara have a couple in regards to how they feel about one another.
--->''Kara:''(as Barry is staring at her, dumbstruck) Something wrong? You seem a bit distracted. \\

--->''Barry:'' Yes. You're fine. I mean, I am. Fine, that is. In good health.

* HypocriticalHumor: Kara El is disparaging of humans for forming bonds with people too quickly. This just before she[[spoiler: proposes to Barry]] who she just met that day.

* InconvenientAttraction: Barry and Kara come to regard their feelings for each other as this.

* NeverGetsDrunk: Averted for both Kara and Barry, courtesy of Lar.

* OmnidisciniplaryScientist: Barry, as demonstrated in World's Finest, is able to whip up advanced algorithms and mechanical devices to help against Livewire. However, he does mention that he's not nearly as good as Winn and when [[spoiler: his tachyon device breaks]], he doesn't even entertain the idea that he can fix it.

* PointOfView: Originally just Barry and Kara in the early chapters, but expands to Alex, Winn, Lar and J'onn later.


* RealityEnsues: What happens when you, arguably the strongest being on your world, runs into someone who is just as strong as you are, with an even stronger ComboPlatterPowers set? Feelings of inadaquecy.


* ReedRichardsIsUseless: Maxwell Lord manages to easily give rats Barry's Speed Force connections after only a few days, but he concludes trying to give it to a human would probably kill them.

* RunningGag: People bringing up the fact that Barry isn't very muscular.

* ShoutOut: To the Bobiverse with the character of Robert Johanson [[spoiler: even if it turns out to be Klarion possessing the body of a Bob]].
** Two of the chapter titles are the titles of Hamilton songs
** When telling Kara that she needs to be stealthier, Alex brings up how there are [[WebVideo/CinemaSins people who watch the skies for a living]]

* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Subverted hard, particularly in Partners in Justice. Whenever the POV character starts reminiscing or thinking about other things, it's clear that it's just them being quiet and thinking, with other characters noting their silence and trying to get their attention.

* Workaholic: Barry attempts to be this in regards to improving his speed. It doesn't take.

* HypocriticalHumor: Kara El is disparaging of humans for forming bonds with people too quickly. This just before she[[spoiler: proposes to Barry
