This is my theory:
In chapter 8 of the DMC Anime, it's explained how the port town from Morris Island, were Dante (in that moment, known as Tony Redgrave) and his mother, (maybe also Vergil and/or Sparda, they're not mentioned, it's just mentioned his mother and it's seen a photo of Tony with the teacher and his friend Ernest), is burned in a brutal fire wich cause the majority of the population to die. This fire was caused by a demon who was searching for Sparda or his sons, maybe to eat their soul and become much more powerfull. The locals accused Tony's mother of causing the fire, then she leaved with Tony to another place.
Of course, when you're accused of causing a genocide, you don't want the ones who accuse you to find you, and, lets see: how many kids with white hair but tanned skin can exist in the whole world? So, to hide, Tony dyed his hair black.
Is Dante that tony? Yes, for sure. In that chapter, besides some signs of Dante being Tony but wanting to forget the past, Dante says clearly: "I'm not that Tony Redgrave, besides I used that name in the past. My name is Dante". And besides, in his pistols you can read "For Tony Redgrave", as you can read in this image: http://www.guerrerosdeljuego.com/wp-content/uploads/wallpaper_devil_may_cry_4_06_1920x1.jpg
Later, as Trish says in the intro of DMC1, Dante lost his mother and brother in a mysterious way. I believe DmC it's situated here: with a Dante devastated by the loss, and chased by demons attracted by his Spardish smell, longing to devour his soul to rise on the hell order, and in that circumstances: what's the point on keep dying his hair? why should I care of vengeful people if i'm being chased by DEMONS and I have nothing to lose?
That would explain the black hair with white roots: the non dyed hair growing.
Why is he haggard, dirt and chained like a dangerous young offender with mental problems? Cause he has nowhere to go, nothing to lose, he's furious and he's being chased by demons. If the police arrest you (for example, because of breaking everything like Dante has ever done), and you explain them that you're being chased by demons, your mother was killed by demons, etc etc, what are they gonna do? Believe you're crazy as hell, cerebral plates, special treatment for dangerous insane people...
And, (excuse me for the joker moment), why so serious? He lose everything, he's being chased, he has no one... it's logic he's not in a good mood. In the DMC3 Dante you can still see this nuances, but little by little Dante start learning to appreciate the little things (like his pizzas, strawberry sundays and tomato juices xD), and above all, he has fun chasing demons, i guess this makes him feel strong, feel like taking revenge, feel he's not a demonic monster. Whit time, and I gess with the influcence of the people he meets (Enzo was a swine, but Lady, Trish and the others may have influenced) to become the Dante on DMC1 and DMC3.
On DMC, Dante is on the very begining of his evolution, in his worst moment.
And the last: why does he have that fits? This fits are not a new thing on the saga. It's caused by an internal fight between the demoniac part and the human part. In DMC1 comic, Dante has one when touching the statue of the hall he enters for. In DMC1, Nelo Angelo has that same fits when he sees the amulet, a gift from their fathers (he's not possesed, in the comic he assures "i'm just trying to get rid of the cursed fate of your blood", his dark side is superimposed over his human's to the point he disowns his humanity and serves the enemy of his father).
In the trailer, Dante has this fit when he's massacring enemies: is ther any better moment for the demonic side to erupt than a brutal massacre?
Why he smokes? Maybe he started for some silly thing, and later whe decided to stop. It's not really important.
And about the enemies, whe shall remember that they materialize from a black substance which looks like the Tripoxylus wich moves the scarecrows on DMC4, that even if they look a bit like the I,Robot androids they can be easily be created with mannequins and old machinery pieces, with a bit of alchemy or demonic magic, and that in the hell the technology isn't the same as in earth: remember in the Mallet Island there was an functional AIRPLANE in a MEDIEVAL castle.
About that weapon, in the game it's said Rebellion was a gift from his father. But not the ONLY gift. He coul also get it from a demon he killed by his hands or with his guns.
This is my theory. In my opinion, if i'm right, DmC can be an awesome game wich can tie up many loose ends.
But probably i'm not right and all this are mere coincidences TN did not see or did just ignore.
What do you think?
