There was a post on this board sometime last year that went into WAY more detail, but given IMDB has a 20-page thread limit for every movie/show, it's apparently been cycled into oblivion.
Tommy how's the peeping?

I'm following Rebirth.
I'm not saying one way or the other, just putting Morrison's (or whoever's) take on it.

Not the case. Some of the non-comic media have found their way into the main DC multiverse (aka "New-52", now in its
Rebirth
phase), complete with their own reality designations and everything, the vast majority of them however remain in seperate multiverses of their own.
The CW shows, for example, are in the multiverse designated "Arrowverse".

One of the comments on the linked thread states
"Every one of the previous TV shows and movies exists as a world in the DCU, including those that will not be acknowledged by CW, like Man of Steel, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Superfriends, and Green Lantern."
Some while back I saw an interview with someone working for DC (it
may
have been Grant Morrison whilst promoting his DCs Multiversity Guidebook), who said that
every
incarnation of DC's characters, be it live-action (films or TV), animation, novels or comics exists in the DC Multiverse somewhere.
