10 Most Irritating Characters In Comic Book Movie History

1. Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) - Batman and Robin

freeze I could have easily filed this article with all the characters from the Joel Schumacher Batman films. Almost every one of them annoys me in some way including the Dark Knight himself. However, that would have been a narrow focus and unfair to the other members of this list so I just chose one character out of all of them, Mr. Freeze. Why Freeze, why not Riddler, Tow Face or even Robin? Of all the characters in Joel€™s interpretation of Batman Freeze probably has the worst and corniest lines. To this day, I cannot use the term €œJust chill€ without groaning at Schwarzenegger's heavy-handed delivery. Of course, you have to add in the fact that Freeze leads to that ultra messed up skating sequence and the weird interactions with Freeze and Poison Ivy. Basically, the character is a mess and needed a better interpretation. Oh but also you have Ivy€™s betrayal which makes the character almost a hero by default where you start getting into €œso is he a good guy or bad guy€™ territory. However, perhaps the most annoying thing about Freeze or anything aspect about Shoemaker€™s Batman films is the fact that he is a throwback to the more campy aspect of the 1960€™s TV series. The series worked for its time but Batman had evolved considerably in the comics and Tim Burton€™s Batman films had brought that evolution to mainstream audiences. That step backwards after such a progression hurt the film. That is the simple reason why Batman and Robin flopped. So that wraps up 10 annoying comic based movie characters, are there any you would add, comment below.
