* [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check]]: Averted: While comic!Captain Cold is one of the most blatant examples, this version makes it so his cold gun wasn't made by him (it was stolen) and it's noted he's a high school drop out who couldn't possibly build it.

* [[Has Two Mommies]]: Part of season 1 is Barry and Joe accepting that, yes, they are father and son. When {{spoiler|Henry Allen is released}} in season 2 this reaches full swing.
* [[Healing Factor]]: While The Flash has always had this power to heal faster to some degree this adaptation emphasizes it, allowing Barry to recover from injuries that should cripple or kill a normal person within the span of an episode several times. The biggest use narrative wise is so criminals can get away from The Fastest Man Alive by injuring him (as running away won't work for obvious reasons) to stop the plot from ending in the first five minutes.

* [[Layman's Terms]]: One of Joe's main jobs as part of the team, being a "mere" police detective in a group of scientists. Unusually while Joe is the most frequent subject, ''everyone'' except Wells occasionally needs this at different points due to vastly different specialties.

Joe lampshade's his frequent use of this in the penultimate episode of season 2.
* [[Like a Son to Me]]: Wells to Cisco. {{spoiler|After learning Wells is actually the Reverse Flash Cisco is, understandably, creeped out by this}}. While it takes most of the first season to realize it, Joe and Barry have a much deeper relation than mere legal guardianship.

* [[Super Doc]]: While Dr. Snow is employed as a bio-engineer she often acts more like a surgeon and is the one who handles all of Barry's injuries.

* [[Stable Time Loop]]: Lampshaded: Cisco wonders if them {{spoiler|seeing a new Flash costume in a newspaper from the future inspiring them to change the costume}} would be one of these. He does indeed do it between the two seasons.

* [[There Are No Therapists]]: Central City Police Department seems to not value the mental health of officers. Joe shoots and kills multiple criminals yet is never subjected to the many things done to real cops after justified shootings.
