The CW has released a new promo for "The Elongated Knight Rises", the upcoming eleventh episode of The Flash's fourth season.

The episode will see Team Flash dealing with the direct fallout of Barry Allen/The Flash (Grant Gustin) being convicted for the murder of Clifford DeVoe/The Thinker (Neil Sandilands). With Barry absent from the team, Ralph Dibny/Elongated Man (Hartley Sawyer) will be stepping up to the challenge, taking on a new threat from Alex Walker/Trickster Jr. (Devon Graye), the son of Mark Hamill's scene-stealing James Jesse/Trickster.

"The learning curve from zero to hero is a pretty big one." Sawyer told reporters during a set visit last year. "It takes most of the episode for him to get there. It's tricky because Ralph was not, you know, a bad guy but has just gone on this path. And so coming back from that has been tricky. And also kind of the animosity with Barry has been tricky for him too, but it's given us a lot of opportunities to play off of that."

"And just now getting these powers it's sort of like winning the lottery, like 'I'll buy an island, I'll do this, I'll do that'." Sawyer continued. "It's like whoa [but] take it easy. It's kind of like learning that there's risks that come with that too."

As the promo shows, Ralph will take on Axel in his grey/purple suit, but Sawyer has previously hinted that the costume will evolve.

"It's a little hard to get into, but it's fun to wear actually." Sawyer added. "It does not leave much to the imagination, but putting it on is fun and it lends itself to a lot of comedy, a lot of moments there with that."

The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
