PLOT SUMMARY:
Batman shows the League evidence of Superman's complicity in the death of Warhawk, but the idea is met with some resistance -- particularly from Barda, who flatly refuses to believe that Superman could be responsible, preferring instead to suspect Batman. Barda is convinced when Warhawk reappears, revealing that he didn't die in the explosion. Batman is only partly relieved, armed as he is with a kryptonite sample necessary to stop -- and kill -- Superman if he has to.

INTERESTING NOTES:
- Although the starfish-creature is not referred to by name, it is presumably a variation of "Starro the Conqueror", a long-time opponent of the Justice League in various incarnations. Its origin and powers as shown here are somewhat different here then in any other comic book incarnation.

- Though newly animated, this episode features flashbacks to events that occurred in the Superman: The Animated Series two-parter, "The Main Man".
