LEGO Dimensions - Timeline

It contradicts the theory because it's not a gameplay mechanic, like with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. It's part of the story.

The portals themselves are the canon ways to travel the LEGO "multiverse", so even if characters from different IPs but the same universe can't access each other's portals was solely a gameplay mechanic, the portals' existences are not. They made an entire story pack for the LEGO Batman Movie, which could've been accessible with LEGO Movie Batman in the LEGO Movie dimension but they made the decision to not do that, because it's easier to have them as separate dimensions - since they're separate IPs (like the bonus levels suggest - which do have cutscenes and an actual story to them, they aren't purely for gameplay)
 
Canonically, Gandalf from The Hobbit dimension and The Lord of the Rings dimension are clearly the same and wouldn't meet each other. Obviously, in that scene I just showed you, it would be absurd to try and argue that's the same Batman in two different points in time. One of them acts like a LEGO version of Batman and one of them is an overrated clown. :)

The clashing personalities is, of course, the main contradiction - though it isn't unique to this interaction, nor needs the interaction. If they portrayed LEGO Movie Batman as the same Batman, this would be harder to argue around (though it is still evident that two people from different times can exist at the same time, through time travel. This is shown through the contradicting dimensions - Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts, etc - and does work with the time travel shown to us - Back to the Future, Doctor Who, LEGO Ninjago, etc).

While their meet up doesn't necessarily contradict the same-Batman theory, the fact that they are portrayed as separate people does (for obvious reasons)

Actually nope. You use the same Batman figure from the starter pack, as LEGO didn't want to make a new Batman figure.

So what now? LEGO Movie Batman Is the same Batman as LEGO Batman?

Sorry I'm with Pro Bot on this One.
 
Obviously LEGO Batman isn't LEGO Movie Batman, but LEGO Batman Movie Batman is LEGO Movie Batman, and there is clearly some time travel going on with the portals

Where does that show it's the starter pack Batman figure?

Give me a minute to find the unique LEGO Batman Movie Batman figure

You see in the upper right corner he has the starter pack figure.

Also the game tells you to put THAT Figure.

That Is from a fun pack. You can't access the Story with It, Just the hub world. As for the Story you're supposed to use the starter pack Batman figure.

Fair enough, I assumed it came with the story pack. It is still, however, only compatible with the LEGO Batman Movie dimension, and even then using DC Batman is clearly solely to save money, since the Batman portrayed in the story pack is more goofy (like in the LEGO Movies).

To be honest, I've lost track of what this argument is about. It's been agreed that DC Batman isn't LEGO Movie Batman, so I don't wanna get into a huge argument over the pedantry of evidence

My LEGO DC games interpretation:
1981 - LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (Man of Steel)
2005 - LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
2008 - LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (Arrow)
2008 - LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (Dark Knight Trilogy)
2008 - LEGO Batman: The Video Game
2012 - LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
2013 - LEGO DC Super-Villains (Mask of the Phantasm)
2014 - LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
2014 - LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (Batman 75th Anniversary)
2015 - LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (Bizarro)
2015 - LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (The Squad)
2015 - LEGO Dimensions
2016 - LEGO DC Super-Villains (The Summit)
2018 - LEGO DC Super-Villains
2018 - LEGO DC Super-Villains (Ring of Fire)
2018 - LEGO DC Super-Villains (The Final Battle)
2018 - LEGO DC Super-Villains (Sivana Escape)
2018 - LEGO DC Super-Villains (Sivana Showdown)

It's quite easy to narrow down most of the DLCs to the exact dates their non-LEGO versions take place at, except for Mask of the Phantasm. I've push it up 20 years into the future just to make it work. Obviously, "Batman 75th Anniversary" likely takes place on March 30th, 2014.

Fun fact, K-9 (LBTVG), a red TARDIS (LB3BG) and Weeping Angels (LB3BG) are all native to this universe.
