We saw Rita become more of a leader in Chief’s absence towards the end of season one. Will she and Chief struggle over who should be the leader, especially after the revelation that Chief is responsible for everyone’s “accidents?”

Season one was great but I for one was disappointed that Rita didn’t use her powers much. Will she be using her powers more in season two?

Ms. Bowlby, first off…bravo on Doom Patrol! You ARE Rita Farr/Elasti-Woman. Do you have any season 2 bon mots you can share with us? Storytelling or production wise, all are welcome :slight_smile:

Expanding past Doom Patrol, what do you think of your former Two and a Half Men co-star Jon Cryer’s ascendency into the role of Lex Luthor (it’s a far cry from Alan Harper)? Did you know he also played Lex’s nephew Lenny in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace?

Thank you for your excellence on Doom Patrol. I look forward to your future work on the show.

last season we learned, through Mr. Nobody, that guilt is the one constant for each member of the Doom Patrol … my question, will Rita embrace the past, can she forgive herself, does she want to … what price is Rita, or Cliff, or Larry, any of the others willing to pay to undo their damage

Was it hard dealing with so much food in costume?

Will Rita be able to control her powers in season 2
