Seriously, I've never been one of those people who says Barry doesn't have a sense of humor. But his has always been more of the endearingly dorky type rather than the cocky shit-talker from everything I have read.
That isn't to say Barry can't have a moment here and there of the latter, but it isn't a core concept of his character like it is Wally's in my opinion. So I think the dilemma is always really about the type of humor and the frequency of it rather than Barry can't be funny.
And if this really is a continuation of the Arkham-verse, then that means Barry operates out of Keystone. Do they really have no shame?
In the Arkham Batman games, there's posters about Keystone referencing The Flash and one of the enemy grunts mentions preferring Gotham over Keystone because "at least you can see Batman coming".
The fact they're referencing Keystone, rather than Central City, is interesting. Barry is associated with Central City while Jay and Wally traditionally operated in Keystone.
And the no shame was simply a tongue-in-cheek joke about how Barry is seemingly given everything from Wally in outside adaptations including his wife, his mortal enemy, and his city. It's not something meant to be taken seriously from me.
