Any ideas what a Syndicalist James Bond would be like? Starring Sean Connery of course.
Commander James Bond, popular spy-character in the syndicalist world, here played by UOB-actor Sean Connery.
Bond is actually the fake idendity of a RED-agent, who infiltrates MI6 in Toronto during the time of the SACW and WK II. His real name is unknown, he is referenced as 007. Bond use his position to sabotage Entente actions against the UOB and to support the american CSA-comrades.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a book by American author Rick Riordan. After his son was diagnosed with learning disabilities that posed a risk to the family, they fled from the Christian commonwealth to the German Empire. Canada and the PSA had closed their borders to what had been the AUS a long time ago, whereas Germany routinely took in refugees. This inspired Riordan to write a book about a boy with similar learning disabilities to his son, and so Percy Jackson was born. The son of Hades was the last demigod born in America before the Greek Gods fully migrate to Germany (now the heart of western civilization), and he must make his way to Europe while also stopping the resurgence of Kronos (who is based heavily on William Pelley, leading to the novel's banning in the eastern portion of the former USA)
Hm. Nico would be a son of Zeus from pre-2nd acw (or at least pre wk2), and would probably be in an even worse place for most of his arc since Zeus wouldn't let him stay on Olympus (because hera)
Annabeth would generally be the same, just also german.
Luke and Kronos would probably be the most changed. Kronos would definitely be even crueler, holding Luke less by the boy's wants desires and more because of his fear. Luke may even be another American demigod who wanted Germany to liberate his home country and took his anger out as the gods not caring about mortals.
The greeks would probably be based in bavaria since it was a cultural powerhouse and less militaristic than the prussians, whereas the Roman's would definitely be in Prussia proper- the empire rests in berlin.
All in all, it would be a darker story, more rooted in the legacies of ttl's 20th century and Germany's growing pains than otl, where the beginning of the pax Americana was used more as a backdrop and an exposition
I'd say that Panem formation would be compared to the chaos of the 2nd American Civil War.
That depends on who wins the 2nd Civil War. If the Combined Syndicates of America win, then it would be an oppressive Monarchy or Oligarchy, that might even have Chattel Slavery ("Break the Chains" and all that).
If the American Union State wins, then it would likely be a 1984-style nightmare, that reduces people to faceless numbers, with a Syndicalist paint job.
The USA and PSA, and possibly New England, would have roughly the same outcome: Panem would have been a once benevolent national entity, but was overtaken by illegitimate tyrants in a bloody coup and turned into an oppressive regime (though the side of the aisle would be different), leaving it to those that know the past/follow its original ideals to restore it to its former glory.
Mind you, I'm wildly generalizing things here, since all the Successor States can take different paths that can drastically change things.

Here's some randoms.
Main cast of Riverdale, a 2016 adaptation of several long-running American children's comics. From left to right: Football linebacker and construction worker/musician Archie, former Chicago resident and would-be doctor Josie, Boston transplant and history geek Cheryl, Junior People's Militia member and son of Second American Revolution veterans Kevin, journalist Forsythe/"Jughead", daughter of Mexican volunteers turned immigrants Veronica, and German immigrant artist Elisabeth/"Betty".
Attempting to present an idealized picture of small-town American life in the early 1960s, Riverdale follows a group of suitably diverse teenagers in small-town Ohio as they solve crimes, play sports, complain about union votes they aren't eligible for because of their summer jobs, engage in the political process through activism and eventually voting, complain about their political choices (IWW, AFL, or Farmer-Labor Alliance for the conservatives and West Coast transplants), deal with romantic drama, and learn suitable moral lessons for modern teenagers. Criticized for its schmaltzy tone and idealized picture of 1960s life, later seasons of the show attempted to more accurately portray the growing pains of the Workers' Commonwealth of America as it transitioned from the ideological fixations of the 1940s and 1950s into the healthy democracy envisioned by Flynn and Reed.
The Green Arrow, protagonist of the popular comic book series Green Arrow and the Canaries.
A native of a dystopian alternate America run by the totalitarian National Salvation Council, a nightmarish corporatist regime that oppresses the proletariat and pays starvation wages for backbreaking work, the Green Arrow (real name Oliver Queen) and allies (varying with time, but usually including his longtime partner Laurel Lance/Black Canary, Laurel's sister Sara, and Oliver's friend Roy Harper/Arsenal) fight the good fight against the regime and its goons, assassinating wealthy villains, stealing from the corrupt rich to feed the poor, and protecting the people through clever schemes. Oliver's greatest secret is that he himself is the heir to a wealthy family, which eventually comes out to his friends when his sister defects to the rebellion.
Over the years, Green Arrow has had several team-ups, with lawman Red Lantern, supersoldier Captain America and his Charlie Company of socialist soldiers, and with superheroine Wonder Woman, among others, generally accomplished via having the character deal with an interdimensional excursion to or from a superhero universe that more closely resembles the Commonwealth in general structure. As one of Action Comics Magazine's most popular heroes, the character has been adapted for television twice by the Chicago Film Federation, for the big screen by Hollywood three times, and for radio by Detroit Tele-Broadcasting across some six incarnations (most notably the 1948-1964 daily serial Green Arrow's Canaries, starring Bob Bailey as the titular character and Virginia Gregg as Black Canary, which took an experimental structure where the protagonist's adventures would be broadcast every weekday in a series of 5-day storylines).
Action Comics #13, featuring alien superhero Kal-El/Superman. This comic was produced as war propaganda by Jack Reed's Provisional Peoples' Government of America in the later stages of the Second American Revolution, and opposed international interference in the war. Action Comics would later publish Superman and other characters in spinoff titles for decades after the war. To this day, Superman hasn't missed a single publishing month.
An alien from the totalitarian planet Krypton, Superman was sent to Earth as an infant by his dissident parents, and was raised in small-town Wisconsin by working-class Americans who instilled in him the patriotic values of freedom, equality, and workers' rights. With miraculous powers derived from his alien nature, Superman seeks to protect the Workers of America and help everybody realize that no matter their ability or origin, they all have a place as an equal under the Red Flag. Typically portrayed as straight-laced, kind, and socially responsible, Superman gets trotted out regularly for pro-political-engagement propaganda.
Later comics would introduce supporting characters, such as Superman's girlfriend, Captain Lois Lane of the Revolutionary Continental Army (Action Comics #2), their tagalong and eventual adopted son Jimmy (Action Comics #3), his cousin Kara (Action Comics #124), Kara's gay human foster sister Alex (The Adventures of Supergirl # 212), Superman's nemesis Father-Leader Zod (Action Comics #56), villainous capitalist and Superman's other archrival Lex Luthor (Action Comics #4), and Voynist supervillain Bizarro (Action Comics #100). Superman would also star in several notable movies, television shows, and radio dramas, most famously a recent series starring British actor Jason Isaacs as Superman (Man of Steel, 2010; Superman, 2012; Superman: The Wrath of Zod, 2014; Freedom Five, 2015; Superman 3: Age of Extinction, 2016; Freedom Five 2, 2018; Superman 4: The Quest for Peace, 2019).

I take it Batman is a Union representative who has been unable to get government aid towards his city and decided to use his resources himself? (which is actually a core part of the character ignored in the films...) or a PSA version of OTL used as counter propaganda?

He was super popular in the Pacific States (leaning heavily into the "benevolent rich guy" thing), wasn't published in the '50s after America reunited in '45 (his last comic of the OG run was in '49), and then got brought back after the Commonwealth settled in to being a world power. Since the '60s he's a business heir who rebelled against his family, gave his money to the people, and leads a team of elite volunteers against gangsters and capitalist-imperialist spies from a cave under the factory that used to be the family manor. Still dates Catwoman tho.

I am Walt Disney and I'm here to ask you a question.
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
'No!' says the General in Washington, 'it belongs to the army.'
'No!' says the Journalist in Chicago, 'it belongs to the poor.'
'No!' says the Senator in New Orleans, 'it belongs to the country.'
I rejected those answers.
Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible.
I chose...Pacifica.
A city where the artist would not fear the censor; where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality; where the great would not be constrained by the small!
And with the sweat of your brow, Pacifica can become your city as well.
