Really, I doubt that the creators of the Adam West Batman TV show have ever commented on the Canonicty of the Dark Knight trilogy with in their Batman Universe and as both are licensed by the over all owners of Batman can we then assume that the Dark Knight Trilogy can act as a prequel to the TV show. Regardless of changes in tone and media. 'Cause thats the sort of situation that your "common sense" gets. Sorry, but any time their is a creative team/media shift. Questioning the canonicty of a work with in the orginal continuity is valid.

That said even in your system things in secondary source are only allowed when they do not contradict primary ones.
