Hall of Justice

From SuperFriends Wiki

The Hall of Justice, originally located in Gotham, but eventually settling in the city of Metropolis, is the headquarters of the Justice League of America. Originally the Hall was established to train young people to be crime fighters. (such as Marvin White, Wendy Harris and the Wonder Twins) At the time it wasn't the JLA's main headquarters, the JLA Satellite was. But over a period of time, it seemed to have come to be the Justice League's official headquarters.^[1]

[edit] Interior

The interior of the Hall of Justice contains the Justice League Computer (voiced by Casey Kasem) and the Trouble Alert, which notifies the League when there's danger going on. There's also a view screen which can allow the Justice League to watch over the world, and also allows anyone in danger to call the Hall of Justice. There are also chairs and a table for conference meetings with Justice League members. The features in the Hall are:

• Justice League Computer
• Trouble Alert
• The CDQ
• The Big Eye
• Hot-line to Washington
• Justice League Recorder (The Hall's surveillance system)
• Justice League Arsenal
• Justice League Seismograph

[edit] Rooms

• Justice League Computer Room
• Justice League Gym

[edit] Redesign

In 1985, the Hall of Justice went through a major redesign. Many upgrades were made as well as remodeling.

Note--it's possible that this is a new Hall entirely, but it seems unlikely, since it's still referred to as the Hall of Justice.

[edit] Notes

• In the first season of the Super Friends , the Hall of Justice is located in or very near Gotham City.^[2] This location would also be the case in the Super Friends comic book. This would change for the rest of the series after the episode: The Brain Machine. It is uncertain why the Hall was moved to Gotham, it could either be considered a mistake on the writers' part, or possibly the Hall was literally moved from Gotham to Metropolis. It's also possible it was rebuilt in Metropolis. (In other words it could be a completely new building)

1. ↑ It's not known if the Hall is the Justice League's main official headquarters or not, as it's never clearly stated in the show or the comic book. The first issue of the Super Friends comic book states that the Justice League Satellite is the headquarters of the JLA, but the Hall's use is merely for training young people to be crime fighters. But over the course of both the cartoon series and the comic series the Hall's use seems to go beyond simply training young heroes. In fact, at least one issue of the comic book referred to the Hall as "headquarters." The animated series also refers to it as headquarters on a number of occasions. However it is uncertain which HQ is the main HQ. It was obviously originally the satellite, but as the series progressed we obviously see more of the Hall. So it seems to be the Hall, but it's never made clear.
2. ↑ Being in, or close to Gotham City is clearly expressed in the Season 1 episode: Too Hot to Handle.
