Again, you are really really stretching to somehow make this something that it's not. And I don't know why you're doing it. It is just to make the debate "more simple"?

No, the Daleks in the film's multi-verse are not fiction characters within a TV show. There is no substantial evidence to support that claim. It's speculation.

Yes, calling them "British" is a fourth wall joke, but it's an extremely minor one. Extremely.

I could very easily think of a billion reasons for why someone in-universe would get confused and think that the Daleks were British. Britain does seem to be the place that they attack the most...

Three seconds. This is a three-second, ad-libbed gag presenting a simple joke about the Joker not knowing who the Daleks are. It doesn't prove anything about the film's interpretation of the characters or the authorial intent in using them.

You can not, and may I emphasize the not in "can not," say that a villain's significant role in a narrative was meant as a parody based entirely around a three second fourth-wall-stretching ad-libbed joke.
