There's lots of new stuff coming to Supergirl season 2, including a JSA villain running an alien fight club!
With all of the hype about the Justice Society coming to Legends of Tomorrow, it's worth noting that Supergirl season 2 episode 4 will introduce a version of a JSA villain, in the form of Roulette (played by Dichen Lachman).
Here's the official synopsis:
When Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Alex (Chyler Leigh) investigate the murder of an unregistered alien, the trail leads to an alien fight club run by Roulette (guest star Dichen Lachman), the ringmaster who commands aliens to fight in mortal combat for the entertainment of rich humans. While trying to stop the fighting, Supergirl and Martian Manhunter find themselves up against a surprising opponent. Meanwhile, Hank (David Harewood) is thrilled to have found another Martian and tries to get to know M’Gann (guest star Sharon Leal) better. Supergirl takes Mon-El (Chris Wood) under her wing and begins to train him.
There's a hint of a Legends of Tomorrow connection here, too. Roulette first appeared in JSA Secret Files #2 in 2001, and was introduced as a Justice Society villain. Since the JSA are such a major factor in Legends of Tomorrow Season 2, perhaps this is an indicator that there will be some additional opportunity for crossovers. But her MO is mostly the same here as it was in the comics (although she ran a superhero fight club not an alien one in the comics).
Check out the trailer:
"Survivors" airs on October 31st.
