This is my favourite episode that exists of The Flash. I loved the way that Barry didn't have to be in costume when he went to talk to Powell, who is in a way, the only male who knows his secret and hasn't/doesn't die. The relationship between the hero and ex-hero is sometimes hilarius. Gotta love the way they work together. I think if the series had been longer it would have been good to see Barry work with other superheroes, but I guess I'll leave that to the JLA. The villian was a bit obvious in this one, you can almost guess as soon as he walks into the room. Rich millionaire who knows nightshade... Yes, that's the one. "Why don't you give up this justice thing and donate some of your millions to a poverty program?"
Powell/Nightshade played a good mentor figure towards Barry, and I would have looked forward to seeing him again.moreless

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- The confidential name on the file Garfield reads is "Police Captain Julius Schwartz." Julius Schwartz created the Silver Age Flash for DC Comics. Edit
- The Nightshade comments that he hasn't seen Fosnight since he was short conning for Gorilla Grodd. Gorilla Grodd is one of Flash's villains. Edit
- The title is appropriate to the storyline, but it is also the folk name for the plant belladonna, one of the most poisonous plants in the Western Hemisphere. Edit
