They didn’t have to have all of Nolan’s rescue. But the dimension hopping was a little too much filler. It didn’t even make sense given Angstrom claimed he was “softening him up”. Chatting with Batman is “softtening him up” ?
Again, trying not to spoil things - they couldn’t even have started Nolan’s rescue without rushing things. Allen’s plan isn’t to get in there and break him out immediately.
The Marvel and DC dimensions were part of the dimension-hopping because they actually have some pretty dangerous villains. Angstrom can’t predict exactly who will be at the portal the second he sends Mark there, but those dimensions do hold a lot of dangers that would soften him up. That’s not guaranteed, so he sends him through dimension after dimension.
Of course the bigger reason is that it was a really funny moment in the comics, and was brought to screen very nicely. In the comics, the Spider-Man thing was even bigger - Invincible actually appeared in a Spider-Man issue!
