Billy Stokes (Laurence Criner), a fighter pilot during the First World War and before that a railroad detective, arrives in town just in time to investigate the disappearance of $25,000 and the man who was carrying it.

Thoughts

Richard Derr played the part of the millionaire. I have also seen him in When Worlds Collide (1951). He also appeared in guest roles in  couple episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series.

Justice League Action 1.23

Double Cross

Penguin hires Deadshot to capture Two-Face. Batman works with Firestorm and Plastic Man to capture Deadshot. Firestorm keeps an eye on Two-Face while Plastic Man impersonates Two-Face to lure Deadshot out of the shadows.

Thoughts

How is it that Professor Stein was there early on but then vanished when Ronnie decided to turn his back on Two-Face? I would think he would have counseled Ronnie against making such a big mistake.

Not great. The best part was the juxtaposition of Two-Face (with his two personalities) with Firestorm who is made up of two people, but there wasn't enough of it. The rest of the episode didn't do it for me.
