The Justice League is an organization to which almost all of the superheroes seen in Justice League Action belong. Their purpose is to champion the cause of truth and justice and, in doing this, come into conflict with the many villains across the series.
Description[]
Traditionally, the Justice League's members (sometimes called "Leaguers") come together to oppose some threat that they would not be able to handle individually, e.g. a threat to the whole Earth, the galaxy or even the entire universe. To achieve this they make use of their super-powers and guile, and any weaknesses they may have individually can be compensated for by teamwork. The members, including the animal ones, carry small signaling devices which are used to alert the other members so that they can meet at the designated assembly place, the Watchtower. It has a meeting table that seats ten, and has instruments to locate threats on Earth or in space so that the League can then move to deal with them, making use of their vehicles if necessary.

Bases[]
In the early episodes, the League is still based in the Hall of Justice as it had been in previous animated series. It is replaced by the new Watchtower which, at the end of the fourth episode, is built at the top of a volcano. Superman's Fortress of Solitude functions as a secondary headquarters for the League.
Vehicles[]
The main transport used by the League is the aircraft/spacecraft Justice One. It is supplemented by the flying fighter Justice Two and the smaller vehicles, Justice Three and Justice Four, that specialize in land and water movement respectively. The Batplane can also be based in the Watchtower.
