CBS has today released the first official image of Italia Ricci as the villainous Silver Banshee, a character who will apparently take on both Supergirl and The Flash in their crossover episode next month. She looks like she’s been torn straight from the pages of the comics, making it damn near impossible to find any faults with this take on the character so far.
In Supergirl, Siobhan is described as being Cat Grant’s latest hire ,who at first will become a work nemesis for Kara before she later proves a more deadly foe for the hero when she takes on the mantle of DC Comics villain, Silver Banshee.
Supergirl has so far been a little hit and miss when it comes to adapting some of the character’s greatest foes, but it really does seem as if the CBS series will spend some time developing Silver Banshee’s character before she becomes a full on villain capable of taking on both the Girl and Steel and Fastest Man Alive. This is certainly a sign of progress for the show, but we’ll just have to wait and see how it all pans out.
Regardless, we’ll meet Silver Banshee for the first time in Monday’s episode of Supergirl, and you can get a first look at footage from that outing by clicking here.
