December 13, 2012: Impulse Returns to "Smallville: Season 11"

Smallville: Season 11 TV Guide takes a look at "Smallville: Season 11" and speaks with writer Bryan Q. Miller about bringing Bart Allen into the comic book series for a Superman/Impulse team-up. Here's an excerpt from the article...

    The new arc, "Haunted," will explore the origins of Bart's ability to run at super speed. "There's something that has been haunting Bart for some time, some baggage he's been carrying," says writer Bryan Q. Miller of the title. "Everyone in our story is being haunted - physically, metaphorically - by some element of their past."

    When Bart first appeared in the TV show's fourth season episode "Run," he told Clark there was an accident and "this huge flash of light" that gave him his turbo charge. "For the first time ever we head-on address how Bart got his powers," says Miller, who was also a writer on the TV series. "Perhaps there was more to it than possibly even Bart knows."

    "Haunted" will have more direct connections to the television show than Season 11's earlier stories. "It's the first time we are relying heavily on previous Smallville series history," Miller says. "This arc has many more roots in specific episodes and mythology from the series."
