In the DC Extended Universe film Suicide Squad, flashbacks show Joker convinced Harley Quinn to bathe in the same chemicals as he did. Following their break up, Harley destroys Ace in Birds of Prey.[14]

  • Stagg Enterprises: a research and development firm in genetics research founded by Simon Stagg.
  • Steelworks: located in Metropolis. It is founded and owned by John Henry Irons.
  • S.T.A.R. Labs, short for Scientific and Technological Advanced Research Laboratories: a place of scientific research on metahuman studies located in various facilities. It "quickly became a mainstay of the pre-Flashpoint DC universe, acting as a prison for metahuman menaces and a medical resource for injured or mysteriously afflicted Super Heroes."[18] In The Flash TV series, the S.T.A.R. Labs facility of Central City functions as the headquarter for the team around the titular hero. Perry Dantzler compares it to the Arrow Cave from the Arrow TV series, where a "dark, secretive atmosphere" with "solid walls and dim lighting" fits the focus on crime fighting. S.T.A.R. Labs, in contrast, is a bright space illuminated by natural light, with "white walls and gleaming equipment" designed to "remind viewers that the characters in the lab [...] are primarily scientists first and superhero teammates second." This emphasis on science influences the direction of the show: "The entirety of S.T.A.R. Labs reflects a need for uncovering the truth". S.T.A.R. Labs is a "high-tech space" which through the combination and application of knowledge empowers "the abilities of superheroes to flourish and improve", a "material space" where "superheroes' identities and abilities are shaped" through technology.[19]
  • Wayne Enterprises: an international multi-corporation owned by Bruce Wayne.

The location reappeared decades later in Final Crisis: Superman Beyond, also by Morrison, as the world on the edge of the multiverse past the Graveyard Universe of Earth-51.[117] This "comic book limbo" is metafictional, based on the notion that any character who has not been published recently can be said to reside in "comic book limbo".[118]
