I watched that whole video expecting to hear a bunch on clever stuff that made it seem like Fight Club was a prequel to TDK ....

lol But Instead it was one of the most absurd, made up theories I've ever heard....Literally not 1 thing they pointed to actually made me go "ummm thats interesting"

Literally not 1 thing they pointed to was clever what would make you think "Hey I can see that, That could be a connection between The Joker and Tyler"

This was one of the most desperate and truly pointless "fan theories" I've ever heard...

I agree it's not convincing at all. However, I don't think you should dismiss the link between the films altogether. There is an important common theme that represented a certain zeitgeist that Fight Club prominently amplified if not began, which is the rejection of materialism and the unmerciful scrutiny of societal moralities that supposedly bind us together. Tyler Durden and The Joker, in their own ways, swung the same wrecking ball.
