Hall of Justice

The Hall of Justice is the publicly known headquarters of the Justice League in Washington, D.C.. However, the Hall is actually a tourist front, and the League's real headquarters is the Watchtower, which orbits in space.

Early history
When the Justice League originally formed, they set up their headquarters inside Mount Justice. Unfortunately, the Joker located their base and attacked. As a result, the League was forced to relocate. In order to create a better public image, the League built the Hall of Justice in Washington, D.C., which would act as faux headquarters and public front. In truth, the League designed the orbiting Watchtower as their real base which could be accessed through Zeta-Tubes.

The building was partially open to the public, and Catherine Cobert toured groups, showing them the trophy room and the main hall.

Aqualad, Robin, Speedy and Kid Flash were brought to the Hall of Justice by Aquaman, Batman, Green Arrow and Flash as the first step of their induction into the Justice League. They were given a tour of the facility, concluding in the library. There the League intended to leave their sidekicks while they discussed a series of cold related crimes that all had occurred in one day. However, before they could leave, Speedy exploded with anger over the limited access that he and the others had been given. Speedy revealed to the shock of Robin, Aqualad and Kid Flash the truth about the Hall of Justice being a public front, having already been informed about the Watchtower by Green Arrow.

As a result, Speedy quit as Green Arrow's sidekick. After his departure, the League was alerted to two disasters occurring simutaneously. One was a fire at Project Cadmus while the other was a mystical villain known as Wotan. The League rushed off to deal with the Wotan threat, and ordered their sidekicks to remain behind. However, Robin proceeded to hack the Hall of Justice's computer system and he along with Kid Flash and Aqualad went to investigate the Cadmus fire.

The League held a press conference in front of the Hall concerning the induction of Atom, Doctor Fate, Icon, Plastic Man and Red Arrow into the League. The Team watched the broadcast from the lounge.

2016
Cat Grant tried to get a statement from Zatanna and Rocket as they entered the Hall of Justice, but they declined comment. Catherine Cobert assured her the League would issue a statement on an alien attack on the UN shortly.

After Gamma Squad captured a Krolotean, the League brought him to the Hall for interrogation. Martian Manhunter tried his best, but could not read the creature's mind. Miss Martian could, though the alien was rendered comatose.

Bruno Mannheim and Whisper A'Daire used an Apokoliptian device to revive the four Appellaxian husks in the Hall's trophy room.
