In tonight's episode of The Flash, we were introduced to the STAR Labs facility which Barry Allen used to assemble a team to take on The Dominators. However, if you're a fan of the comic books, you no doubt realised that the building bore a striking resemblance to the Superfriends' iconic Hall of Justice.
Used as a base by the Justice League at various points in their history, executive producer Marc Guggenheim had this to say about its inclusion. "We were talking about where to put it — maybe it was an old warehouse or whatever. Someone said something that made me think, ‘You know, there’s this building in Cincinnati that is the basis for the Hall of Justice in the Super Friends. I’m sure there’s stock footage that we could then alter.’ That’s what we ended up doing." That's a cool Easter Egg!
"I was so giddily happy," he continued. "It’s probably my favorite thing in the whole crossover: the Hall of Justice. Props to Encore who did an amazing job of altering it in all the right ways. Putting the waterpool in the front and the sculptures. There were some shots they turned dusk to day or day to night, made all that footage work great. 10-year-old me can die happy." It will no be interesting to see if the Hall of Justice returns, especially if Star Labs is for some reason taken off the table down the line.
