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

1993 - LEGO DC Super-Villains (Mask of the Phantasm)
2008 - LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (Arrow)

2008 - LEGO Batman: The Video Game
2012 - LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

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.

Wasn't there a Comic that took place directly after the events of the first game? I recall that existing
 
watching LBLotDK and if we go with LB1 + what bd1p uncovered in his videos dates as far as I am in the story are like this:

1968 - Bruce Wayne is born.
1976 - Intro of the game + Wayne's murder
1986 - Bruce and Gordon fight Falcone's men and then Bruce meets Ra's al Ghul.
1987 - Bruce starts his training.
1988 - Bruce finishes his training.
1989 - Chapter 1
1990 - Chapter 2
1998 - Chapter 3

This is what I uncovered so far, it's possible that he could arrive at Ra's monastery the year later so in 1987, finish his training in 1988 and return to Gotham the next year in 1989, but I'm not too sure on that yet.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Rewatching his video as it's said that there's the slighty possibility that Superman started his superhero carrer (20BLB) just before Batman, if we considers Year One to be 1989 then it would be 19BYB, it also matches both Sups and Bats' Post-Crisis starting years as 1988 and 1989 respectively.

EDIT 2: chapter 2 doesn't give us how much time passes, but since Joker was Born at the end of chapter 1 and the Batcave Is still in construction, let's Say it's set in the next year.

EDIT 3: Chapter 3 is basically Robin Year One, and again according to the video, the Dick Grayson era goes from 10BLB to 5BLB, seeing asa the chapter started with a timeskip depicting a lot happens, I think it fits.

I think this is better now, since Legacy of the Dark Knight clearly has a time jump of at least 2 years near the start.

after I finish my watching of all the game I'll be adding everything LEGO Batman related (DLCs too) in the timeline I did somewhere here.

also interesting that Basically Mask of the Phantasm happens in between Chapter 2 and 3 of Legacy of the Dark Knight.

It does? That's cool.

I'm building here in real time basically, so you can all see the process.
