Cuban coffee is the stuff man. That's what the whole league should be drinking.

Small detail but for the Justice League, where do you want their base to do.
Mount Justice
Hall of Justice
The Watchtower
Hall of Justice

amen to that
also yeah, should be the watchtower imo.
in actuality it'll be a bunker somewhere, lol.

Watchtower makes the most sense from the "living gods" perspective, but it does run counter to the ways the movies try to remain grounded in reality around the edges (e.g. Public response to Superman) . Not sure there's a workable comics HQ that meets both criteria.

My big thing with the Hall is that it has issues that would be hard to ignore in the DCEU. Like... What do they even need all that space for? There's 6 of them, and unlike in JLU, they aren't leading a global rapid response unit or anything. They don't need offices.

I imagine it wouldn't be quite so large, if they were to do it. Think the Avenger's compound as we saw it in Civil War.
Although, that brings up another good point. Watchtower sets them apart from the MCU the most. The Hall of Justice might feel samey.

Just give them a floor at Wayne Tower with a couple of cubicles..
Didn't want to bring up THAT elephant, but yeah Hall of Justice is similar to Avengers Tower and any way you can differ your brand is helpful.
Also as Justice League/Unlimited proved, you have a lot more potential with a space-based... base

Try saying space-based base fast ten times without sounding like you're just saying space..
Over a series of films, they could move through all of them, but I see it like the Hall of Justice is their "official" headquarters on earth, like for when Superman or Wonder Woman needs to have a press conference or something.
Meanwhile, the actual operations center is the Watchtower up in space where Green Lantern or whoever is monitoring for danger.

Upon second thought, a mountain would fit the Snyderverse too, just call it Mount Olympus because they are Gods Among Us.
Get it?

The Avengers tower was just some swanky penthouse from what I remember.
I like to think we could eventually get both. Use the Hall of Justice as the tourist attraction with all the memorabilia and giant statues and shit, where the League sometimes goes to reach out to the public. The Watchtower for everything else.

Honestly, a secret space station base in this universe makes zero sense since it's so closely resembles our own.
I always loved the idea from Young Justifr that Hall of Justice was a front for the public, and it linked to the Watchtower.
Who says it's a secret? I know smallville had a Watchtower that was just a moon base.

You know, if America had a functioning health care system, NYC would probably be the 2nd best city in the world. Need to go there some day.

Some new-ish info about Wonder Woman's howling commandos squad.
Said Taghmaoui is playing Andre Blanc-Dumont, Blackhawk member.
Eugene Braverock is playing Chief. Just Chief. Not Apache Chief...unless he happens to grow in size and foreshadows Giganta in Wonder Woman 2.

If Trevor's team is the Blackhawks, it would be weird didn't at least try to promote it before the movie.
Are the Blackhawk's even known?
Known enough to excite comic geeks
but also would have helped give the film some other marketing points
That or introducing the Amazons
The Blackhawks are such a niche group that I don't think that it's a good enough marketing point. But this is all assuming that Trevor's actual group is the Blackhawks, and that this isn't an easter egg.
Also I assume that the market isn't heavy on the Amazons themselves because
they aren't in the film that much......
It's not just any buildig, it's the Hall of Justicr, it can even be built in the area that houses the Superman memorial.
If their group are the Blackhawks that opens up the possiblity of Lady Blackhawk (who also at times is a member of the Birds of Prey) as a future supporting character in a sequel or even showing up in another film.
Ideally I'd want the Justice League in the Watchtower but Mount Justice would be a good starting location. The Hall of Justice I don't think works. I've always had a problem with the Hall because of big of a target it is. It's not like it's a museum that was made like the Flash museum but the JL HQ shouldn't be a known location by anyone.

OMG I need this.
Tbh the league having a headquarter is kinda cheesy. In fact, the league existing as an institution is silly. It works for the Avengers because they're funded by the government, but not the League.
Wouldn't mind if Terrio da gawd comes up with a clever explanation, but I'm not holding my breath.

booooo
hA I think it's reverse
The League makes sense as an institution because they are independent and know they need to police themselves as much as the world.
It also makes a lot more sense when they don't all come charging in since each believes can handle threats on their own until it becomes too large.
Well, yeah, I get that, my point was that a space station is just way cooler.

I always thought the relatable/grounded approach to the Watchtower is a retrofitted alien craft. Be it Brainiac's or Steppenwolf's. Man of Steel had some imagery that felt how I imagine the Watchtower could be.
I think it'd be cool if it's suspended in the air like the crafts in Arrival instead of in orbit.

Actually was my idea
Like retrofit the space ship in Metropolis to get it into orbit.

Yep, that's why I am thinking Mountain is a viable place. However, they also may have a movable place.
Yeah I think the idea of it being a re-purposed Kryptonian or Apokolips-ian ship could definitely work.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
I didn't know this. FUCK THIS SHIT MAN. So fucking mad right now.
