[美漫]關於DC九月重啟的看法

過去一週美漫最沸沸揚揚的話題就是DC陸續放出關於九月重啟的話題。

關於重啟，小虎兄已經在他的Blog上作了很詳盡的整理。其中除了角色的服裝重新設計過外，據信DC還要讓角色年輕化，並且修改部分角色背景。


例如：超人的紅色內褲不見了，他與Lois Lane的婚姻也可能被取消；Wonder Woman也穿上褲子，造型更似之前Jim Lee設計的那版平行世界WW。事實上，Jim Lee參與了這次大部份角色的新造型設計，目的是想讓超人們更有現代感。但我對他的服裝品味實在不敢苟同。

這次重啟中，相信有不少角色背景會受到影響，唯一例外是蝙蝠家族。負責DCnU蝙蝠俠漫畫的編劇Scott Snyder在訪談中說蝙蝠俠家族會延續舊角色，只是Dick換下蝙蝠俠身份回去做Nightwing，Damian會在新的Batman & Robin中與父親搭檔。即使重做Batgirl的Barbara Gordon，也會解釋她如何離開輪椅。但這是否會造成與其他英雄關係無法銜接？目前官方也沒有提出解釋。

從目前看到的消息中，很難推敲DCnU會是怎樣的景象。但很多目前官方介紹或訪談中都透露出不少讓人臉上出現三條線的消息。我猜想不可能整個世界重新開始，但至少會花前面幾期將新世界的角色背景跟人物關係交代一下，再切回現代（例如Jim Lee跟Geoff Johns在訪談中說JLA在開始的故事會跳回去講他們的創立，之後再回到現在的時間點）。最引人好奇是Grant Morrison寫的Action Comics #1簡介：「This momentous first issue will set in motion the history of the DC Universe as Superman defends a world that doesn't trust their first Super Hero.」。超人是DCnU的第一個超級英雄？那JSA哪去了。再來是≪I, Vampire≫，吸血鬼熱潮也吹進DC世界，不知道他們會如何融入。目前公開的52個標題僅是九月份預計推出的故事，之後可能還會推出新連載。

DC選擇全部重啟的原因，可能是這樣才能一次推出大量的連載，達到最好的宣傳效果。事實上他們的確佔了滿滿一週的版面，逼得Marvel也在上週末跳出來說要在本週一宣布下一個大計畫（已知是Spider-Man跟Avengers搭檔的新連載，由Zeb Wells編劇Joe Madureira作畫）。至於DC重啟計畫究竟能否成功，得等到九月才會見真章。

但我實在不希望DC太成功，因為那代表Marvel 616的末日不遠了。
