Well that didn't take long for us to find out! Many fans have been speculating who was in that third Kryptonian Pod from the second season finale! People have suggested Reign, Doomsday, and many others. Well, Andrew Kriesberg has come out and revealed a lot more information! Season 3 will feature big bad Reign, one of the World Killers from Krypton! Furthermore, the part has already been cast. Odette Annable, has been given the part to provide turmoil and destruction to National City. Odette is known for her work on Banshee and The Astronaught's Wives Club. In a statement to the press, Andrew Kriesberg had this to say:
Greg [Berlanti] and I have wanted to work with Odette for years. We are beyond excited to have her join our cast in the scary, powerful and heartbreaking role of Reign
So there goes that mystery! Pretty exciting as Reign is an extremely powerful villain which will give Kara a run for her money! Let us know what you think in the comments below and in the forum! Keep us around this summer too and visit the support page!

Argo City might be interesting, but what about the bottle city of Kandor?
Quoting Jordan860:
Agree. No red lantern please. It could be fun to have an episode or two involving one, but no need for Kara to become one.
That's exactly what I've been trying to do in my fan fiction stories!
But of course, I realize that not everyone likes fan fiction (and that my style of writing is not everyone's cup of tea)...
I suppose it will be an interesting storyline with the new villain a worthy adversary. However I'd still like to see Supergirl in more down to earth situations and interacting with people besides the DEO and the super-villain of the week.
As to the other issues being discussed:
- keep supergirls personality as is. Great contrast to a world killer
- never a big fan of the red lantern Supergirl though you can't get a much more powerful kryptonian than a lantern one. Still, don't try it as I'm sure it just can't be done well.
Me, neither! I want the Silver Age Supergirl I loved as a kid. Yes, she always had a temper, even back then. But it passed quickly, and she was able to control it.
Here's Kara losing her usual cool In Action Comics #291 and going off on Mr. Mxyzptlk (who could certainly be quite irritating at times!):

I doubt the writers would do that. Remember Red Faced? The temper, but that was controlled. I do NOT WANT a Red Lantern
But Stew, if they continue with the politics, I will echo your last six words.
In the announcement of the character's casting, it was announced that she'll have a different costume/look than in the comics, but we don't know exactly what that means at this point... although we should find out come the start of filming in July, if not sooner.
