Truth be told, it's an element in canon already. Barry and Jay emerged before DC established a firm multiverse structure, so the latter was known as a comic character to the former. After the authors decided they wanted Jay and Barry to coexist, they created the precedent for alternative universes. So, Barry is consistently meta. Having The Flash as a comic turned real was a campy element introduced for Barry's development. (It was scrapped for subsequent Flashes who have a greater natural coexistence, like Barry finding Wally or Bart being born to Barry's family.)<br/><br/>Barry's kind of a weirdo in that regard. He's the first fanboy of the line.
