‘The Flash’: Jordan Fisher To Play Bart Allen In Grant Gustin Series

The cast of Grant Gustin’s The Flash continues to grow with the addition of Jordan Fisher as Bart Allen.

The CW has announced that Jordan Fisher (To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You,Work It) is joining Grant Gustin’s The Flash in the recurring guest star role of Bart Allen. In the pages of DC Comics, Bart is better known as the speedster Impulse. Here’s the official character description for the Arrowverse’s take on the iconic character:

“Bart is the fastest teenager on the planet! But due to Bart’s penchant for wildly impulsive behavior, stunned parents Barry and Iris will have their hands full trying to teach their new son patience. But it’s a task they’ll have to accomplish, in order for their family to work together and stop Team Flash’s biggest threat yet!”

Created by Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo, Bart Allen made his first comic book appearance in The Flash #91. That take on Bart was the grandson of Barry Allen and Iris West but the Arrowverse version of the character is their future son. Jordan Fisher is set to make his debut as Bart in The Flash‘s 150th episode, which is expected to air later this year on The CW.

Here is the official synopsis for The Flash season seven:

Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) lived a normal life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the Central City Police Department. Barry’s life changed forever when the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark-matter lightning storm that struck Barry, bestowing him with superspeed and making him the fastest man alive — The Flash. After a thrilling cliffhanger last season which saw the new Mirror Master (Efrat Dor) victorious and still-at-large in Central City, The Flash must regroup in order to stop her and find a way to make contact with his missing wife, Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton).

With help from the rest of Team Flash, which includes superheroes Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), Ralph Dibny (Hartley Sawyer), and Nash Wells (Tom Cavanagh), as well as the Flash’s adoptive father Joe West (Jesse L. Martin), Meta-Attorney Cecile Horton (Danielle Nicolet), tough cub reporter Allegra Garcia (Kayla Compton) and brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk (Brandon McKnight)… Flash will ultimately defeat Mirror Master. But in doing so, he’ll also unleash an even more powerful and devastating threat on Central City: one that threatens to tear his team—and his marriage—apart.

The Flash stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, Candice Patton as Iris West, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow / Killer Frost, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon / Vibe, Tom Cavanagh as Harrison Wells, Jesse L. Martin as Joe West, and Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton.
