I'm going to assume that bit at the end was the season finale's tag that was cut for time.

Yes, it's the post credit scene from the finale that was cut for time. It appears to hint at next season's villain.

I have the say of all the DCW trailers this has me the most interested.

Any comics based theories on who the guy at the end was? I'm assuming he's our big bad.
So is Wally sticking around for a while then?

Cicada will be only the second non-speedster to appear as a major season-long adversary, following The Thinker.

Introduced in 2001 by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins in The Flash #170, the Cicada of the comics is David Hersch who was filled with regret after murdering his wife when he was struck by lightning. As a result, he gained the ability to absorb the life-force of others, allowing him to dramatically extend his life. Believing he was somehow linked to The Flash by the similar accidents in which they gained their powers, Hersch founded a cult whose members were dedicated to murdering everyone the Scarlet Speedster ever saved, using lightning bolt-shaped daggers. As the result of a vision, Hersch believed that the energy from all the people The Flash saved, and from the hero himself, would allow him to resurrect his dead wife.

Oh, thanks. He definitely sounds like he has a lot of potential as a villain.
I still keep hoping they'll eventually do Mob Rule, I liked him in first New 52 Flash arc, and he would make a great villain on the show.

Really excited about all of it.....
...until I saw the return of Whiny Wally.
Hopefully he'll get sucked into the Speed Force or something.

Looking forward to Nora's story though.

Wally's stint on Legends has been super fun, I look forward to his guest appearances.

Of the trailers I saw (Flash, Arrow, Star Trek Discovery, and Doctor Who), it was this one that gave me the most "meh" feeling. It wasn't bad, but watching these CW shows for a few years you almost know what to expect going in now. I will say as someone who doesn't read the comics, the villain reveal reminded me of Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
