I would say they are three actually. Television, Animation and Webcasts or WebTV. Television could be defined on it's page to be specifically live action programming because long category names are a PITA to type in on pages. I would say that just because something is broadcast on TV doesn't make it TV, and just because something is live action filmed drama (The Guild) doesn't make it TV either.
And yes, all sorts of pages now have multiple canon types. There's even a template that puts a particular infobox on the page for "mash-up" sourced fandoms.
But something like Batman--where there may be particular fannish groups focused around single canon versions of the story that have some kind of blurry distinction from each other--would likely end up with separate pages for all of those and have only one canon type category on the page. Some of those pages might get categorized with a DCU category as well, some obviously not.
LOTR is another case where there is a question of how related book and film fandoms are--they can each have a page that would be categorized by their canon types and by LOTR.
Harry Potter seems to work best on a single page that would get a books and films cat under my idea. (And could likely use changing to that mash-up template right now.)
