THE FLASH Casts Jordan Fisher as Impulse
DC Comics' most impulsive speedster is heading to the small screen.
Variety is reporting that The CW series The Flash has cast Jordan Fisher as Bart Allen, better known to DC Comics fans as the superhero Impulse. According to the article, Fisher will debut as Impulse in the series’ 150th episode, which is also the 17th episode of The Flash Season 7.
The character is described as "the future son of Barry aka the Flash (Grant Gustin) and Iris (Candice Patton) and is said to be 'the fastest teenager on the planet'. However, due to his penchant for 'wildly impulsive behavior', Barry and Iris will have their hands full trying to teach him patience — which will be a necessity if they want to succeed, not only as a family unit, but also in stopping the biggest threat to the Flash yet."
Fisher, 26, is an actor, singer, dancer, and musician who has previously appeared on the TV series Teen Wolf, Bones, The Secret Life of an American Teenager and Liv and Maddie. He also voiced the character Sea Hawk on the animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and was the winner of Dancing with the Stars Season 25.
Because Bart had spent the majority of his childhood in a simulated world, he had no concept of danger and was prone to leaping before he looked. The youth proved to be more trouble than Wally could handle, and he was given over to retired superhero speedster Max Mercury, who moved Bart to Manchester, Alabama. As the teenaged superhero Impulse, Bart joined the Titans early in his career before going on to become one of the founding members of the superhero team Young Justice, alongside Robin (Tim Drake) and Superboy (Conner Kent).
Shortly after Bart joined the Teen Titans, he was shot in the knee by Deathstroke (who at the time was possessed by Jericho) and received a prosthetic replacement. While recovering, Bart read every single book in the San Francisco Public Library and reinvented himself as the second Kid Flash. Once healed, the artificial knee did not affect his ability to run at speeds approaching that of light, but reminding him that he needs to think first rather than to act impulsively.
Recently, in the era known as DC Rebirth, Bart returned to the main DC universe after Wally West and Barry Allen broke the Speed Force Barrier. Once again wearing the Impulse costume, he emerged from the Speed Force and raced through a city street triumphantly declaring that he was back. Shortly afterwards, he reunited with his former Young Justice and Teen Titans teammates Robin and Wonder Girl (Cassandra Sandsmark). Bart was the main driving force behind the revival of the Young Justice team, and after being transported to Gemworld and reunited with Superboy, the team officially re-formed.
Fisher will be the second actor to portray Impulse in live-action, after Kyle Gallner on the WB/CW series Smallville. The character has also appeared on the animated series Young Justice and Young Justice: Outsiders, voiced by Jason Marsden.
The Flash airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.
TITANS Casts Savannah Welch as Barbara Gordon
Dick Grayson is about to be reunited with Barbara Gordon.
Variety has revealed that the HBO Max series Titans has cast Savannah Welch as DC Comics' Barbara Gordon for the show's upcoming third season. Formerly on the DC Universe streaming service, Titans was brought over to HBO Max along with other DC Universe shows Doom Patrol and Harley Quinn.
According to the article, Barbara Gordon will be "Gotham City Police Commissioner. Uses a wheelchair. She used to be Batgirl until she was shot and paralyzed by the Joker. She has a combative relationship with Bruce Wayne. Her life gets more complicated when Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) returns to Gotham, rekindling their old romance and starting a new crime fighting partnership."
Welch, 36, is an actress and musician who became a leg amputee as a result of an injury accident in 2016. She has appeared on the History Channel series Six, and has appeared in the films Tree of Life, Boyhood, and The Transcendents.
Created in 1967 by William Dozier, Julius Schwartz and Carmine Infantino, Barbara Gordon first appeared as Batgirl in Detective Comics (vol.1) #359, and later that same year on the Batman television series episode "Enter Batgirl, Exit Penguin", as the daughter of Gotham City's Police Commissioner James Gordon. In her debut story in the comics, while driving to a costume ball dressed as a female version of Batman, Barbara Gordon intervened in a kidnapping attempt on Bruce Wayne by the super villain Killer Moth, which gained Batman's attention and led to a crime-fighting career. Although Batman insisted she give up crime-fighting because of her gender, Batgirl disregarded his objections.
In the controversial 1988 graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke, writer Alan Moore had Batman's arch-enemy The Joker shoot and paralyze Barbara in an attempt to drive her father insane, thereby proving to Batman that anyone can be morally compromised. One year later, writers John Ostrander and Kim Yale gave Barbara Gordon new life in Suicide Squad (vol.1) #23 as Oracle, a mysterious computer expert who assisted and supplied information to various DC Comics heroes in their fight against crime. The character's popularity led to the creation of the series Birds of Prey in 1996, where writer Chuck Dixon partnered Oracle with Black Canary and a rotating cast of female DC superheroes.
In 2011, DC Comics rebooted their continuity in The New 52, effectively making the character younger in a modern timeline where she became active again as Batgirl. In the new continuity, the events of The Killing Joke took place three years before current events, but it was established she was paraplegic during that time. Barbara Gordon regained her mobility after undergoing experimental surgery at a South African clinic. In recent months, Barbara has a new life as a PhD student in the hip Gotham borough of Burnside, in between adventures as Batgirl and with the Birds of Prey.
Welch will be the fourth actress to portray the character in live-action, after Yvonne Craig in the Batman TV series, Dina Meyer in Birds of Prey, and Jeté Laurence in Gotham.
Titans Season 3 is expected to be released on HBO Max sometime in 2021.
