To quote the thread on the titan back-up comics,

"I think you are confusing humor with parody. A story can be humourous without being parodic; just look at anything by Gareth Roberts. In The One Doctor, for example, there is a port-a-potty version of the TARDIS that makes flushing noises when it materialises."

The fact that no one says "Oh hey Daleks i know what those are" comes down the fact that most of them are Batman villains. Them having humour with the situation in having the Joker refer to them as "British Robots" doesn't really disqualify the story from being valid.

I guess you're trying to say that because they're minion characters, they aren't taken seriously. But I disagree. It's clear that the story takes someone like Sauron MUCH less seriously. The only reason the Daleks don't do any more than they do in the film is clearly because they didn't feel like actually hiring Nick Briggs.
