20 Most Annoying Movie Characters Since 2000

20. Rachel Dawes

Portrayed By: Katie Holmes/Maggie Gyllenhaal

Appeared In: Batman Begins/The Dark Knight

Both Holmes and Gyllenhaal couldn't save the one-dimensional love interest who was destined for an early Gwen Stacy-esque grave. With Batman's history full of so many female counterparts, why did Nolan decide to create his own weaker version of the women who had come before? Dawes was annoying because she was just a little dull. Unfortunately, we had been treated to the likes of Vicki Vale, Dr. Chase Meridian, and of course Pfeiffer's Catwoman. Dawes distanced herself so far from those stereotypes, she became a bland addition. A man as daring as Batman/Bruce Wayne would never have fallen for this wet lettuce.

Admittedly Rachel did have balls, but slapping everyone's favorite hero for wanting to take revenge on the man who killed his parents isn't going to win you any fan points. Bruce literally spends his entire childhood waiting to be with Rachel, then she went and shacked up with a (soon to be) maniac and got herself blown up - that's karma for you. At least opened the door for Selina Kyle to enter out lives again.
