Is your average movie fan trying to figure out how the various continuities fit together? Give me a good story that stands on its own for two hours and don’t worry too much about shoehorning in the movies that happened before. If you want to build a connected universe, do it by looking forward and not back IMO.

Flashpoint is a great story, even though it deals with a lot of crazy time travel/multiple dimensions. It actual wraps itself a pretty well reasoned package.
I imagine it'll be very difficult to pull off as a live action film though.
Marvel is going the same way too. Dr. Strange is introducing a multiverse. They've already introduced the time travel/multiple timelines concept, and at least some of their TV shows will be set in alternate timelines. On top of that the Scarlet Witch and other cosmic beings will be using powers to alternate the main reality, to introduce characters like the mutants.
