SuperRoach: A New Superhero

In a world full of superhero films like Spider-Man, Ant-Man and Batman, cockroaches Harry and Larry champion their indestructible kind. Five years since the release of Beans, Cinesite’s team has been having fun again, this time with roaches!

SuperRoach, the next great superhero. They may not be Spider-Man, Superman, one of the X-Men, a mutant, a demigod, from the DC or Marvel universe, not trained by Professor X or Batman, not in the Avengers with Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, the Ant-Man, the Wasp, Thor, Dr. Strange, not one of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Justice League, or in the Suicide Squad, they aren’t the Incredibles, or a Ninja or a Samurai, and they may not have super powers like Superman's strength, the Flash's speed, or Wonder Woman's invisibility. But British humor Roaches are still super.

Roaches invincible and indestructible insects. They have harder shells than ants, are faster than spiders, live longer than flies, and are slightly more likable than mosquitos. SuperRoaches could be a hero for kids, a hero for adults, a hero for boys, a hero for girls, or just a hero for everyone.

So don’t worry about Kryptonite, bad guys, evil henchman and gods, good guys gone bad, bad guys gone worse. This superhero spoof is fun, a new superhero, a superhero who can stop almost any villain. It is time for the SuperRoach to be born!
