10 Things We Need To See In Doom Patrol Season 2
5. Rita's Relationship With Beast Boy
Way back in the "Doom Patrol" episode of Titans, we got a couple scenes of Beast Boy and Rita together, but there was nothing that directly indicated they had any sort of special bond. In the comics, Rita and Steve (AKA Mento) legally adopted Beast Boy as their son.
While I'm not expecting Beast Boy to show up in Doom Patrol (though that would be great), it would be nice to at least get some reference to that maternal relationship. Even Rita just mentioning that she misses Gar would be a great easter egg.
We know that things are a bit different in TV canon from comic canon, because Steve, who was Rita's husband in the Silver Age, is a lot older, and rather senile in present day on the show (tho Rita does say she had a fling with him in the '50s), but Rita being Gar's mom is such an important and special aspect of the comics, that it feels like something's missing without it.
