1. Fight Club’s Narrator is the
Joker from The Dark Knight

2.  Ok, let’s start with how the Joker looks. He’s got this
scar that’s not exactly unnoticeable, right?

3.  The Narrator got one just like it in Fight Club. He
was so pissed off at the world that he fought 50
equally enraged dudes in an attempt to destroy
himself.
 Number three holds my head in the crook of
his arm, the way he'd hold a baby or a
football, in the crook of his arm, and hammers
my face with the pounding molar of his
clenched fist.
Until my teeth bite through the inside of my
cheek.

4. …a ragged leer that opens from
under my nose to under my ear.”
The proportions aren’t exact,
but the point has been made

5.  Moving on to my second point: the Joker’s
identity, or rather, lack of it.
 Nothing. No matches on prints, DNA, dental.
Clothing is custom, no labels. Nothing in his
pockets but knives and lint. No name, no other
alias.” Lt. James Gordon

6.  I loved that condo. I loved every stick of furniture. That
was my whole life. Everything, the lamps, the
chairs, the rugs were me. The dishes in the cabinets
were me. The plants were me. The television was me.
It was me that blew up. Couldn’t he see that?”
 The Narrator spoke about how he was a slave to his
nesting instinct. His whole life was in his condo, and
the material objects within. The explosion destroyed
his identity. He was no longer bound to the lifestyle
that you and I most likely live. True, it did not
literally destroy his existence as a person, but it led to
it.

7.  Furthermore, something that Marla said near
the end of the book possibly explains the
officers’ inability to get matching fingertips.
 They were burning their fingertips with lye!”
Marla Singer
 It can be safely assumed that the goons who
burned their fingertips with lye did so because
The Narrator did it first.

8.  Okay, time for a little personality analysis. The Joker
is a madman. He is willing to destroy peace and
manipulate society whichever way he sees
appropriate. Check this out:
You have
nothing, n
othing to
threaten
me with.
Nothing to

9.  As he is being beaten to a pulp by a man who has every
intention and ability to kill him, the Joker does nothing.
 Basically he says, “You can kill me. You can hurt me, but
you won’t, because I am your responsibility by some moral
code you abide by.”

10.  And so it is with The Narrator. As he – or
rather, Tyler Durden – is being pummeled by
an enraged ex-boss, this happens:
 "I am trash,” Tyler said. “I am trash and shit
and crazy to you and this whole fucking
world,“ Tyler said to the union president.
"You don't care where I live or how I feel, or
what I eat or how I feed my kids or how I
pay the doctor if I get sick, and yes I am

11.  On to the motivation. If the Joker and the
Narrator were the same person, would they not
have the same goals? Check out these quotes:
 Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the
established order, and everything becomes
chaos. I'm an agent of chaos.”
 It's not about money... it's about sending a
message. Everything burns!”

12.  And now, the similarities. Listen to what the
Narrator says as he explains what is the
driving force behind Fight Club and Project
Mayhem:
 Disaster is a natural part
of my evolution, toward
tragedy and dissolution.”
 …maybe we have to
break everything to make

13. Wait, didn’t the Narrator die? Didn’t he shoot
himself to get rid of Tyler Durden?
Technically, yes, he did. But why is it so hard to
accept the possibility that the Narrator died, but
Tyler Durden didn’t? Check it out; these quotes
are dropping major hints that Tyler could have
returned.

14.  We miss you Mr.
Durden."
Or somebody with a
broken nose pushes a
mop past me and
whispers:
"Everything's going
according to the plan.
Whispers
"We're going to break up
IM-freaking-PORTANT!!!
civilization so we can

15.  …and again.
 Maybe you're my
schizophrenic
hallucination.”
I was here first.
Tyler
says, "Yeah, yeah,

16.  This leads us This was
to one absolutel
(potential) y
deduction: necessar
when the y
Narrator shot
himself, he did
not effectively
kill Tyler
Durden.
