When Bruce first meets Barry, Barry mentions that he's "fluent in sign language...gorilla sign language", which at first seems like a disposable, goofy gag demonstrating just how much of a socially awkward motormouth Barry is.
However, comic book fans will no doubt appreciate this as a reference to one of DC Comics' more eccentric antagonists, The Flash's longtime nemesis Gorilla Grodd.
