I am wiling to "Nationalism Socialism" a big more broadly the hyper specific focus on Biological Race that the NSDAP became focused, the term was coined earlier by the founder of the Anti-Bolshevik League Eduard Stadtler. I also consider Nasser and Chiang Kai-Shek National Socialism for Egypt and China respectively.

And there people besides Mussolini Himself I feel qualify as Fascist, Oswald Mosley in Brittan, Gergoes Valois in France, Juan Peron, the Baath Party and the DPRK.

Anyway: Batman isn't fascist, either with or without the capitalization.

He doesn't tell people what to do generally, he's not interested in controlling Gotham, and he only fights to stop actions that are generally and unambiguously recognized as being crimes of violence. He doesn't seem to express any political opinions beyond "don't commit crimes of violence", and he has strict rules about what he can do.
