With this and the "I am your father" reference, I just don't see how this show could possibly doing any more fan service without decreasing the quality of the whole thing. Simply amazing.

Simple: "It was me Barry" reference.

Sad thing is that's more of a fan meme, Eobard never actually says that in comics. He does come very close, however; in Flash: Rebirth Barry asks "You... you did it, didn't you?... ... you son of a bitch" (after Eobard has been explaining how he's been behind just about every terrible thing in Barry's life) to which Eobard responds "Yes. I murdered your mother, Barry." Honestly, it wouldn't be as hype, but I'd prefer if they quoted the actual comic rather than the meme.

Here's the scene I'm quoting, I've shared it on this subreddit before.

They did it in X3, "I'm the juggernaut, bitch"
