I was going to use some characters, like Lennox and Agent Simmons (who doesn't like the guy, seriously?).

I'm using a darker tone of writing, unlike other fanfics.

Compare it to "Batman and Robin" to "Batman Begins/The Dark Knight".

Going for a gritty sense of realism here, like other reboots, instead of making it like "The Eds in Happyland!"
