I haven't watched the movie either. I could follow along well enough to understand what was going on, but I probably missed some of the subtleties. I should probably reread Fallout after researching the movie on the DC Wiki. Long stories can be intimidating, but I often read them in sessions while reading other stories at the same time. Unless, of course, the story draws me in enough that I don't want to stop reading until I reach the end. What's good about this story is that a lot of the canon characters are involved, they are smart, and they eventually will be working together!

That's what I really like in DC and MK fics: when the characters are smart and working together to achieve a goal, usually in order to take down the Black Organization. I prefer either no or canon pairings, and Kaito is my favorite character. I've read a lot of the older popular fics in the fandom but haven't been recommending them because I thought that you'd probably found them already. The major problem is finding new good authors since a lot of the older ones have stopped or slowed down in posting.

I'm not sure if you saw my reply to the first part of your two-part post, but I listed 2 more recommendations there. I'll go ahead and list my favorite authors below, even though they're old and popular enough that you've probably seen them before:

Ocianne (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/356908/Ocianne) tends to focus on Hakuba and Kaito but does write some involving Shinichi and Hattori as well. Her Promenade (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2978396/1/Promenade) story has a lot of crossovers, but I could follow along well enough. The second story in that series has almost no crossovers and more alternate realities, as Kaito and Hakuba get LOST. The different realities they visit are pretty interesting, even if they only spend a little time in each one. I THINK that the third story in the series will probably involve more Shinichi and possibly Hattori, as the author has set things up so that Conan will almost have to see Kaito's point-of-view better. The problem is that we get an update in this series maybe once a year.

Ellen Brand (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/33577/Ellen-Brand) is more balanced in writing the Gosho boys. I really want to see more of her "An Unprofessional Opinion (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3620272/1/An-Unprofessional-Opinion)" series. Warning, she likes to include the supernatural in her stories. I'm not sure about your preferences, but while I'll read supernatural/fantasy, reading supernatural/religious makes me uncomfortable. If you want more details on which of her stories are supernatural/religious, then let me know.

Finally, blinkblink (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/45487/blinkblink) is very good at writing Inspector Nakamori and his squad. I really must recommend the series that begins with "Slip and Fall (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4617412/1/Slip-and-Fall)" (Kaito's point of view) and "Pride Goeth Before (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4730431/1/Pride-Goeth-Before)" (Nakamori's point of view). It looks like the author probably won't ever get around to writing the last story in the series, but she's posted the prologue and outline on her LJ (http://what-we-dream.livejournal.com/). This author also writes stories involving Aoko and Kid, if you want to check them out.
