When I see superheroes in the media, I notice that most of the main heroes have there own theme songs which play during their roles.
The genre of music for these themes vary depending on there personality or there role as a hero or villain.
The genres I recognize the most are, Hard Rock, Dubstep, Techno, Metal, and Dramatic Orchestral pieces.

Music
For a superhero comedy movie we'll need some music that sounds funnily overdramatic to poke fun at the original dramatic feel of superhero movies.
We will need to have some goofy or casual theme music for the main character to either represent his incompetence or his casual nature.
Since we can't use copyrighted music we will need to find some loyalty free music.
I know that the YouTube Audio Library has some good tunes in there so I'll start searching there.

COMEDY! - Cringe Comedy
The art of cringe comedy is when someone makes a joke of embarrassment or embarrasses themselves in order to get a laugh.
Stephen Merchant is good at this form of comedy as his comedy show "Hello Ladies" is an hour and a half of him cutting himself down which gets a big laugh.

COMEDY!
When it comes to comedy I really like over the top physical comedy and British verbal comedy.
My favourite forms of British comedy are in Simon Pegg movies directed by Edgar Wright, his editing style is quite unique and adds to the moment in is films.
COMEDY! - Anime's Physical Humour
When it comes to the physical humour in animated films and series its always super exaggerated.
For example in One Punch Man the hero trained so hard that his hair fell out.
On top of that he's had some very spectacular victories over monsters in the series.
For example; slapping a mosquito girl into a blood splatter, punching a giant in the face and uppercutting a beetle monster in a rush to get to a saturday sale.
The joke is that he's so sting he just puts no effort into dispatching these monsters, the site of him slapping a monster into a blood splatter or walking backwards at mach speed is just hilarious because of how silly it looks.

COMEDY! - Black Comedy
Black comedy is when a controversial subject matter or a sensitive topic is used for laugh, things like death, rape, sexuality, etc.
For example: Frankie Boyle is a Scottish comedian that pocks fun at very sensitive subjects like 9/11 or the Death of princess Diana. To most people they wouldn't dare touch these topics but Frankie takes the P out of them without hesitation.
We may not use subjects as sensitive as this but it may be incorporated because of how gutsy you need to be to tell these kind of jokes.
Another example of what uses black comedy well is an animated series called the Gregory Horror Show, this series is strangely a horror/comedy, an odd genre that it uses very well. This series relies mostly on psychological horror which it uses in its black comedy; blood, death, and pain are made light of a lot in this series and each of its characters are hilarious exaggerations of primal fears.
Judgement Boy is a character that represents the fear of consequences and funnily enough he is a living set of scales that asks you emotionally difficult questions with this gleeful smile across his face and proceeds to float away singing his annoying little song which made him a fan favourite because of how funny he is.

Location Scouting
At start we considered using a large area like Morden park or Nonsuch park for an early fight scene or even have the majority in these areas, but when we came up with the final idea and the main characters persona we decided to hold the opening in a house so that we could represent the characters sloth-like lifestyle.
We have also decided to have a couple of scenes on a roof for an establishing shot and maybe a scene to reveal the villain. For this I have a friend that lives in the Amen Corner block of flats, he has access to the roof so we can definitely use that.
