Ben Mendelsohn is a fantastic actor, so unlike some of these cringe-worthy performances, its clear that his efforts to be a smarmy, unlikable businessman are deliberate. He relishes sitting in the board room, arrogantly telling Bruce Wayne he doesnt belong at his own company. Hes the epitome of the callous businessman and its hard to watch him speak without clenched fists. Privately, hes entitled and angry about not getting control of Wayne Enterprises as he believes he should. He has no sense of awareness and for a while, theres no one to stand up to him. He even taunts Catwoman with the lack of the Clean Slate program, laughing at her for trying to start anew while using her like a pawn. Of course, Daggetts annoyances end up meeting a more than satisfying conclusion thanks to Bane. While Daggett pleads that Bane owes him for all of his money, Bane disregards his claims and calmly gouges out his eyes in an act of welcome retribution for the audience.
