Kyle Gallner, who portrayed Bart Allen/Impulse on Smallville, shows off some of his archery skills as he campaigns to play DC Universe's Green Arrow.
Smallville's Impulse actor, Kyle Gallner, is ready to join James Gunn's DC Universe as he shows off his archery skills and campaigns to play the Green Arrow in a potential reboot project. As 2023 marks the end of the DCEU, a new DC Universe is on its way from Gunn and Peter Safran. DC Studios are already developing several movies and TV shows, with new iterations of DC heroes coming to life in live-action.
One DC superhero fans are hoping to see in Gunn's DC Universe is Oliver Queen, a.k.a. the Green Arrow, who was recently played by Stephen Amell in the Arrowverse. Fans have been campaigning for Gallner, who appeared in episodes of Smallville as the DC speedster, Impulse, to take up the role, and the actor himself is more than game for the job.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ironically, when Gallner was on Smallville, it was at the same time as Justin Hartley's Green Arrow, who recruited Bart for the show's version of the Justice League. Gallner's last appearance as Impulse was in Smallville season 8, which aired all the way back in 2009.
Gallner, who is currently 36 years old, would be solid as a version of Green Arrow, who is a few years older than the Arrowverse version was when he started, but still in his prime. Back in January 2023, long before they announced the initial Chapter 1 slate, Gallner made his DC Universe "audition," showing off that he is already trained in archery and can pull off Oliver's iconic goatee look. Acting-wise, Gallner already having played a quick-witted superhero is also in his favor.
Time will tell when and where the DC Universe will feature the Green Arrow, but hopefully, fans won't have to wait long. Someone like Oliver should absolutely be part of DC Studios and explore him in ways that the Arrowverse couldn't or didn't. Hopefully, if Gallner and Gunn cross paths, perhaps he will be the Green Arrow in the DC Universe.
