Since everyone now knows about the Multiverse, there are plenty of other Supergirls out there who could come to our earth and be ignored or misused by DC writers in the same way that Kara was. So there's no reason to create a new one.

I mean isn't there already a Superwoman
If DC hasn't replaced Batgirl yet despite Barbara pushing 40 and being older than Batwoman I don't see why DC would change things.
It's more about branding and copyright at this point.
The J-man
An evil one on Earth 3, but Lana lost her powers so there’s nobody using that title on E0.
No way is Barbara that old lol, both her and Dick look to be in their twenties, and Kate already has that title while Barbara has Oracle as her “adult” codename.
I still think we’ll see a Latina become Supergirl to coincide with Sasha. There’s currently no Latinos members of the Superfamily, so it would be a fine addition.

Presumably every other earth in the multiverse has a Supergirl, or at least most of them do. The fact that we have been introduced to so very few of them just shows that DC can't figure out what to do with the character. Let's just go with Kara as a young Superwoman, and consider the job slot of "Supergirl" as having been eliminated.
Heavens no! Kara is Supergirl, adult or not, and that's that. Why complicate it all by adding ANOTHER Kryptonian survivor to the mix (or would we be saying any super-strong heroine would do?)?

Cir-el for a Rebirth, that's my one and only vote.
Who is with me?
Created from 2 of the greatest men,made with 2 powersets thst are both SUPER,and has 2 cool asf looks and attitudes.
People theorize about Ryuthe from King's maxi series becoming the next Supergirl and I'd be open to it. I'm curious about the Supergirl mantle being applied to medieval fantasy-esque place like what her home seems to be.

It's surprisingly common for Alt-U Supergirls and Supergirl analogues to be humans with spliced in Kryptonian DNA. But I suspect part of that is actually due more to Kon-El than Cir-El, since Kon-El has the "genetic tinkering" angle and is a lot more commonly used. I mean, Kon-El came first, and Cir-El actually ended up meeting him and working with him.
What makes Cir-El unique in terms of powers is that she was intentionally engineered to be able to make energy blasts that use RED solar energy, even though she absorbs yellow.... wait... CAN Cir-El absorb red? I'm not sure that ever got explored. But she didn't make herself weaker when discharging red solar energy, so... at least it doesn't weaken her the way it weakens most people with Kryptonian DNA.
Oh and what made Kingdom Come Supergirl unique is that she's half Coluan. So she was a blonde with green skin.
I'd read it! It's a way to have a "new" Supergirl while still using someone who already had the title previously. The black costume with red S is pretty boss.
I'm not completely opposed to Ruthye taking the title eventually, but still way too early to tell. I do like the whole medieval fantasy thing she brings to the table so far though. Could be a cool dynamic long term.
“Look, you can’t put the Superman #77s with the #200s. They haven’t even discovered Red Kryptonite yet. And you can’t put the #98s with the #300s, Lori Lemaris hasn’t even been introduced.” — Sam
“Where the hell are you from? Krypton?” — Edgar Frog
Wells? Too bad they haven't brought Harrison Wells from the Flash TV show into the comics, as they could've made her his descendant.
Acttually, Tom King did mention on Twitter that fans of 90s Supergirl will like something in Woman of Tomorrow. I think Matrix will come up somehow.
Babs was de-aged to match Dick, she's 30 at most, not 40. And roughly the same age as Batwoman, I believe.
Yeah, there's Donna Troy on Earth-3, who replaced Lois Lane in the role in the current Crime Syndicate series. Earth-0 though, the mantle has been vacant since Lana Lang was depowered.
