League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Vol.1 2000

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a comic book series co-created by writer Alan Moore and artist Kevin O’Neill which began in 1999. The series spans four volumes, an original graphic novel, and a spin-off trilogy of graphic novella. Volume I and Volume II (originally released as two six-issue limited series) and the graphic novel Black Dossier were published by the America’s Best Comics imprint of DC Comics. According to Moore, the concept behind the series was initially a “Justice League of Victorian England” but he quickly developed it as an opportunity to merge elements from many works of fiction into one world.

The series was loosely adapted into the 2003 film League of Extraordinary Gentlemen starring Sean Connery (in his last film role before his death). This film added Dorian Gray and an older Tom Sawyer (an agent of the US Secret Service) to the team.

The Justice League is a team of superheroes in American comic books published by DC Comics. The team first appeared in The Brave and the Bold #28 (March 1960). The team was conceived by writer Gardner Fox as a revival of the Justice Society of America, a similar team from DC Comics from the 1940s.

JLA original roster l-r: Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Aquaman, and Flash.
The Hall of Justice

In 1973 Hanna-Barbera Productions (the company behind Scooby Doo and hundreds of other Saturday morning cartoons) adapted the Justice League of America as the Saturday morning cartoon Super Friends. Their headquarters, the Hall of Justice, was the inspiration for the Lemurian Hall of Heroes. The original inspiration for the Hall of Justice was the Union Station in Cincinnati, Ohio.
