I think it's the Dr. Men series that makes me even more convinced that we need to cover stories featuring DWU elements in the LEGO franchise.

Doctor Who is a unique franchise because when most copyright holders get their hands on it, they last thing they would ever want to do would be to reboot it. The creators are never going to say "Let's scrap all this and re-do it." Instead they're going to say "Let's take the universe that's already there and just make a fun story set in that."

So Dr. Twelfth is basically just a regular Twelfth Doctor short story written down a bit for kids and with rather cartoonish illustrations. In the same sense, although I'm not arguing for it to be valid, LEGO Dimensions simply has the Doctor having a regular adventure that he would ever have, and it just happens to look-like LEGO.

I bring this simply as precedent for what we can expect from future LEGO stories. If they were to, say, make a LEGO Doctor Who movie, it would be much like Dimensions or the Dr. Men run. That's why I think we are debating stories that will exist as much as those that already do.

My only thought is that we may need to find a way to cover The Lego Batman Movie as little as possible. This would be the first time we tried to cover a crossover of this size, and my honest first thought is that we simply might not need a page on every Batman villain to appear in the movie.

Perhaps we should consider somehow only covering it in bulk from the first appearance of the Daleks to the last. Maybe we should just suck it up and cover it all in full? I have no idea, and I haven't even considered what our options really are.

But those are just my thoughts.
