Kryptonsite is reporting that Kyle Gallner will return as Bart Allen in the May 14 season finale of Smallville, “Doomsday.”
This version of Bart originally appeared in the fourth-season episode, “Run” (2004), in which he was billed in advertisements as The Flash, then returned for the sixth-season episode “Justice” (2007). This time he was working with Green Arrow, Aquaman, and Cyborg, forming the beginnings of what would one day become the Justice League of America. His teammates gave him a different code-name, though: Impulse.
According to Kryptonsite, Justice Leaguers Green Arrow and Black Canary will also appear in the episode, along with Cosmic Boy of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Which reminds me, I really need to get around to watching the Geoff Johns-scripted LSH episode sometime. I wonder if Smallville is on Hulu or something.
You didn’t see the Geoff Johns-scripted LSH Smallville episode? Kelson, I’m shocked!

I meant to, but didn’t pay enough attention to when it was on. So far I think I’ve seen only three episodes of the series — the ones guest-starring Flash/Impulse and Cyborg.
What can I say? The Wolfman/Perez New Teen Titans is the book that got me into reading DC.
Thanks for the news! I’m more excited about this season now than ever!
I believe Impulse was the original name of Bart Allen’s alter ego in the comic books. Later he would become known as Flash. I’d like to see Bart in as many episodes as possible in season 10.
Will he be back for season 10? So far he hasn’t been listed for any episodes, and no one seems to know.
