What is Reboot (fiction)?
A '''reboot''' is a new start on a [[fictional universe]] that already exists. Some of the same themes may exist, but the story of the reboot is unrelated to earlier parts of the story. An example of this is the [[movie]] ''[[Batman Begins]]''. Even though it is set in the Batman universe, the story has no relation to any of the earlier Batman movies made by [[Tim Burton]] and [[Joel Schumacher]]. In video games, an example of this is ''[[DmC: Devil May Cry]]''. Even though the game is still about a half-demon named Dante, like in the first game, the game's story has no relation to the earlier ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' games, and Dante in DmC has a very different look and personality from the earlier Dante. A reboot is different from a [[remake]] because a remake is a retelling of a story that already exists. For example, the [[James Bond]] movie ''[[Never Say Never Again]]'' is a remake of ''[[Thunderball]]''. ''Never Say Never Again'' is a retelling same story as ''Thunderball'', but it is only a little different. In video games, an example of a remake is ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'', which has the same story as the first ''[[Metroid]]'' game, but it has more detailed graphics, new Power Suit abilities, and an entirely new area that is playable after the part of the game where the first game ended.
