 Due to its constant appearance in the Super Friends cartoons, the Justice League's "Hall of Justice" is one of the most recognizable heroic landmarks. As such, it tends to get homaged regularly. It shows up as the United Nations building in "Kingdom Come" by Waid and Ross:  And the heroes' base in Mark Millar's "Jupiter's Circle":  And the police precinct building out of which the heroes operate in Alan Moore's "Top 10":  On what other occasions has it appeared? Surely it's been in actual JLA comics at some point, though I'm not enough of a fan to know. |

The first CW DC shows crossover featured a building that looked like the Hall of Justice. I'm pretty certain that was the first, and possibly only time there has been a live-action version.
Oops. Never mind. Bearded Batman beat me to it.  |

It's not too far from the old Kenner hq which now has the Toy Heritage Mural painted on its side...   so together they've become a frequent destination for geek tourism in the city. -M |

This is the actual building used for those CW shows, it's the Cincinatti Museum Center... you can see it anytime you are in Cinci. -M Which, if I'm not mistaken, was originally a railway terminal. It's an iconic piece of art deco architecture. |

Well, the SuperFriends comic which ran dor years featured the Hall. I believe it showed up in DC comics Presents # 46, featuring SuperFriends supporting characters the Global Guardians.

I prefer the Hall of Justice over the League Satellite Tower in space. BTW, I haven't seen the Super Friends cartoon in years, getting kinda nostalgic for it. Are there any streaming sites to watch it for free?

Interesting historical notes! I can see how the long narrow verticality fits an Art Deco origin.
I guess the answer to the question I posed is "The Hall of Justice never appeared in canonical JLA comics."

Interesting historical notes! I can see how the long narrow verticality fits an Art Deco origin. I guess the answer to the question I posed is "The Hall of Justice never appeared in canonical JLA comics." from Wikipedia:
Following the events of the Infinite Crisis and One Year Later, the Hall of Justice is truly introduced into DC Comics continuity in Justice League of America vol. 2 #7 (May 2007). After the previous Watchtower was destroyed and the League had disbanded, one year later, the JLA reforms and with it a new Satellite Watchtower is constructed in space, along with an updated version of the Hall of Justice on Earth. The newest Hall is located on top of the location of the former bases of the Justice Society of America and the All-Star Squadron, previously known as the Perisphere, which existed there during World War 2.[9][10] The Hall was designed by John Stewart and Wonder Woman and was financed by Batman. Unlike the Super Friends' Hall, it is not designed to be the central headquarters for the heroes, but rather more a museum of sorts to allow the public to witness firsthand what the heroes do. There are many exhibits, including trophy rooms of weapons used by villains and heroes (all of which were dismantled and made useless by Batman). It does have a primary meeting hall in which many JLA meetings are held, with Black Canary as chairperson. The Hall also works as a transfer station for the heroes in which it is connected, via "slideways" teleporters, to the League's orbiting Satellite Watchtower, which is considered a more secured location for the JLA to assemble.
