The Fall TV season is upon us! With that, will start an influx of new promos to get us all excited.

And, appropriately, the first one to come out of the gate for us CW comic book dorks is The Flash.

In it, we hear Grant Gustin, as Barry “The Flash” Allen,  say, “You want me. You’re gonna have to catch me.” We see him running super fast and see Captain Cold using his freeze gun, but even better than that, we get to see Atom Smasher, who’s played by WWE superstar Adam “Edge” Copeland.

According to the CW, he’ll appear in the season premiere and is described as “One of the most powerful enemies we encounter this season, Atom Smasher has come to Central City to kill The Flash.  His incredible strength and ability to grow to enormous size makes him more than a match for Flash and the entire S.T.A.R. Labs team will have to come together to find a way to defeat him.”

But, wait. What?

In DC Comics mythology, Atom-Smasher is a good guy named Al Rothstein. He’s also operated by the name of Nuklon. He can increase his size and mass, growing upwards of 20-feet tall and becoming, more or less, impervious to attacks from regular sized people. So, yeah, this could prove tricky for The Flash.

Also, was that at FLASH signal at the end of the trailer!?
