And this is a good example of why Rule 4 (or rather its current explanation) is too weak. The current stance is that "Extraordinary non-narrative evidence — such as the story's author directly saying that the story doesn't happen in the normal DWU – must be presented to the community for a story to be kicked out based on Rule 4." But this implicitly implies that the story was ever conceived as part of DWU.
The LEGO movie is a perfect example of a story using DWU characters and DC characters and god knows which other characters (I really need to watch it), all this clearly without intending to put it in the DWU or in DCU or any other U. If it would be strange to see this as a DWU story, it would also be strange to expect the authors to explicitly comment on this.
