In Popular Culture
The Art Deco design of Union Terminal inspired the look of the Hall of Justice, the iconic headquarters of DC Comics' Justice League. The Hall of Justice first appeared in the Superfriends animated TV series of the 1970s. It is still used today in DC's current Justice League comics series.
Union Terminal's radio-like design also appears briefly in Batman Forever (represented by a matte painting) as "the Hippodrome," a sports arena. In the film, it is the place where the Haley Bros. Circus performs, and where Dick Grayson's family is killed by Two-Face.
