Hall of Justice

The Hall of Justice is the main headquarters of the Super Friends in the Super Friends animated franchise. In the companion comic book, it was actually a training camp for younger superheroes like the Junior Super Friends. Their real base was a space station above the Earth.

When Hanna-Barbera decided to take the series seriously, the Hall of Justice had a radical redesign in The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians.
