They do. There's no debate to be had there. That's a really interesting position, seeing as how The Lego Batman Movie was itself adapted into a package for LEGO Dimensions. (Which actually forces you to use the regular LEGO Batman minifigure, which is itself meant to be the Batman from the earlier LEGO games, rather than any movie version.)

For the record, I maintain that should be kept on the story pages for now quite specifically because if considered valid, in-universe content would be created. Batman's page would speak about his interactions with the Daleks. We'd suddenly be talking about the Joker and Two-Face, Superman and Harley Quinn, and then suddenly when all this is deemed invalid, there'd be a lot of pages to delete and a lot of content to be rolled back to a prior state. And as I understand it, there's some crossovers into other non-DC properties, as well.

Now I haven't seen the film yet, but I'm led to believe that Emmett from the first film has a cameo? I think there's no doubt the two movies are connected. In fact, it sounds like there will be some future developments regarding the most metafictional aspects of the film series. We don't have a full view on things right now. I certainly don't, but I'll likely see The Lego Batman Movie tomorrow. Until then, this is SOTO, signing off.
