A good argument.

However,

(1) They may be trying to argue that Spiderman's universe is our Universe 
(just like DC decided that Earth-1, Earth-2, Earth-prime, Earth-C-minus, 
etc. was just tooooooo complicated and tried to collapse everything into 
one "real" universe) but just because we don't get the _Daily Bugle_ out 
here in the sticks we never hear of Spiderman's exploits except in the movies,

or (more probably)

(2)  They figure that the sight of the WTC on-screen would be too traumatic 
for some people at a basic gut level (regardless if it were presented as 
having been saved in an "alternate reality") which would translate into 
decreased ticket $ale$.  (It wasn't for no reason that a reviewer referred 
to the reality in which the Marvel/DC cross-overs occur as "Earth-Big Bucks.")

God bless America,
Land that I love!
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
 From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam�
God bless America!
My home, sweet home.

-- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
