Multiple references to the series have been made on the 2014 Flash television series, including Shipp portraying multiple characters. Shipp also reprised his role as Barry Allen from this series in the crossovers "Elseworlds" and "Crisis on Infinite Earths", which established The Flash as existing on a parallel Earth to the Arrowverse series called Earth-90, while Pays, Désert, and Mark Hamill reprised their roles as alternate versions of Tina McGee, Julio Mendez and the Trickster in the main Arrowverse.
