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 in a serious direction, the Hall of Justice was redesigned in The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians.

Behind the scenes

• Background supervisor Al Gmuer, designed a building similar to the Cincinnati Union Terminal, but when it came time to meet approval from ABC and executive producer Joseph Barbera, they made sure the Hall of Justice look exactly like the Union Terminal. Gmuer didn't care for this decision, as it was difficult to draw.
