I bolded the part that should not be there.

First, when posting personal.ini settings, please use 'code', not 'quote' tags (it's the hash sign button). That way it preserves the spacing and we can copy & paste from each other without having to put all the spaces in at the beginning of lines.
Second, I'm not sure what's causing your problem precisely, but I can tell you how to significantly reduce your replacement list and fix the problem.
The key is that you're not using the power of the regular expressions to work for you. The character '.' in regexp means "any character". '*' means "zero or more of the previous character".
So you can put '.*' in your expressions and match anything instead of having a line for each possible version used.
You'll need to double check and test it, but I think this will work for all the cases you had before.
Code:
replace_metadata:
fandoms=>Arrow \(TV 2012\)=>Arrow
fandoms=>Batman \(Comic\)=>DCU
fandoms=>Red Robin \(Comic\)=>DCU
fandoms=>Harry Potter.*=>Harry Potter
fandoms=>Hawaii Five-0 \(2010\)=>Hawaii Five-0
fandoms=>Marvel.*=>Marvel
fandoms=>Teen Wolf.*=>Teen Wolf
fandoms=>Rise of the Guardians.*=>Rise of the Guardians
fandoms=>Star Trek.*=>Star Trek
fandoms=>Supernatural RPF=>Supernatural
fandoms=>Iron Man=>Avengers
fandoms=>.*(Captain America|Thor|Avengers|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.|X-Men|Spider-Man).*=>\1\,Marvel
(You may have realized that that means 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' will also match "Agents of SzHzIzEzLzDz". In general, you can escape '.' with '\.' like '(' and ')'. In that particular case, the odds hitting something else that also matches are so small as to be negligible.)
