In the two-part episode "The Call", Batman gets a call from Superman to find a traitor within the Justice League Unlimited. Except it turns out Superman himself was the traitor; he had been controlled by an alien bent on conquering the world.

I found an excerpt where series writer Alan Burnett admitted the premise was awkward (from Bruce Timm's perspective):
...[A] few months back I happened to be discussing the swiss cheese that is The Call with Alan Burnett [] and I asked him, Explain to me again why the Starro-controlled Superman recruited Terry, with the expressed intent of finding out who the traitor was, when he himself was said traitor? Alan told me with an absolute straight face that it was Superman himself (not Starro) subconsciously fighting Starros influence. I looked at him for a long moment; he grinned, shrugged, and said, Yeah, I know. Pretty lame, huh?..."

"I kind of feel sorry for the starfish"

Don't. Starro's an asshole even before 'Starro the Conqueror'.

Regarding OP comment, actually it can make sense regarding hypnosis.
It may be easier to make Superman believe the traitor is someone else, than making him believe there's no traitor and everything is normal.
