I like the look of a short dark haired female SUPER, either cir, a daughter, or alternate reality person.

Created from 2 of the greatest men,made with 2 powersets thst are both SUPER,and has 2 cool asf looks and attitudes.
If Kara really is becoming Superwoman at the end of Tom King’s mini, then I don’t mind a new character taking on the Supergirl mantle.

I think its a highly likely scenario that if Kara becomes Superwoman, yet another 5th gen character will be introduced to be a new Supergirl.

I prefer it not to be a Kryptonian. It's more interesting that way.
I don't know a lot about "Cir-El."
As a side question--how did they come up with that spelling of her name--is it intentionally supposed to look like "cereal?" To me you would never have a transposition of Kryptonian into that spelling. All Kryptonian should be transposed so it's phonetic for English speakers. There's no way to tell looking at it just how it's supposed to be sounded out. Should it be "Sir," "Seer," "Keer," "Kir," "Chur," "Cheer?"
I wouldn't want that name or that exact character--but I think that it would have been a better idea to give Clark and Lois a daughter rather than a son. It seems like they want more diverstiy and gender equality these days. So by giving them a daughter--they'd have some representation. And then Kara would take on the name Superwoman. Jonathan just seems like Superman redux--a super-daughter has more potential.
I wonder if they'll synergise to whatever the Flash movie is doing? They've just revealed how Supergirl looks in the film - short dark hair. Which matches both Cir-El, and Injustice's Lara Lane-Kent. But not, of course, Kara.

If Sasha is indeed playing Kara then no they won’t. Kara’s appearance has been ingrained in pop culture thanks to multiple live action, animated, and video game representations that Sasha isn’t going to cause them to change it all by herself. Kara will still be a white blonde girl on DCSG or Injustice or the LEGO games for example and that won’t change. But if Sasha isn’t playing Kara then maybe.

No, not really.
Anyway, most people today know Supergirl from the CW show, where's she's been in her twenties and is probably around 30 by now.
Kara was actually an adult by the time she was killed in COIE - she only got de-aged because she was rebooted. And now she's finally grown into an adult 'again'.
I don't really see the clamor for a teenage Supergirl anyway. If a writer really wants to tell a teenage Supergirl story, there's always Black Label. Or just to a 'Year One' style story set in the past.
(Incidentially, which version of Supergirl's origin is canon now? The Pre-Flashpoint one? Or New 52?)

I don't think there's a need for or room for another Supergirl.
If they were going to do it though, I'd use the Kristen Wells pre-Crisis character. A time traveler from the future who used futuristic tech to simulate powers, she was fun and distinct. She got her slang mixed up and came off as kind of kooky, avoided Jimmy Olsen's advances because he's her ancestor. She's also has a neat nostalgic factor that's probably helped by her being so underused.
What would make the most sense is the bring back Matrix, or rather reboot her. Not a Kryptonian, and hell with her protoplasm origins she's essentially non-binary. You can play up on that today if desired. But I would doubt this since this whole Infinite Frontier thing is based off new creations.
