CHASING LIFE Actress Italia Ricci Joins SUPERGIRL As 'Silver Banshee'

New 52 version would be cool; starting off as a friend and then becoming an enemy is something Kara hasn't had yet

Another Catco employee gone evil? Really? That's a shame. Silver Banshee is such a terrifying villain.

Big fan of Italia Riicci cute lady this is going awesome role for her.

@E1999Batman well, Stephen Amell was first. Then his cousin Robbie, and now Robbie's wife.

Uh... hmm. I'm kind of torn on this.

On one hand, I am actually REALLY stoked that Silver Banshee is coming to Supergirl! She's one of the stronger female Superman rogues (who made the jump to being an equally effective Supergirl nemesis), and I felt like she would be a can't-miss addition to the T.V. show's rogues gallery.

But on the other hand... a CatCo employee? Again? Just like that LAST can't-miss villainess they transplanted from Superman's roster-- y'know, Livewire?

Silver Banshee is a unique character. She's either been played as a ghostly creature with no human identity, or as a cursed Irish girl who started out as Supergirl's friend. Either of those would have been more interesting approaches than to just make her a work rival for Kara who gets transformed into a supervillain.

I'm just hoping the show can manage to fashion her into an effective and meaningful foil for Supergirl-- WITHOUT imitating what they already did with Livewire. They're obviously starting from scratch with Banshee. Hopefully they can make her fit into their show better than they did with Red Tornado...

Robbie is a lucky guy.

"so it should be interesting to see the two clash."

Not really...it will simply be another 'baddie' getting the best of Supergirl for a moment then having SG ultimately come out as the winner. I wish the writers would start giving Supergirl some more....badassness. She's getting punched around, stomped on and bitch slapped way to much....(I know she's just becoming familiar with her heroine persona...but she's not unfamiliar with her strengths).
