9 Annoying Minor Movie Characters Everyone Wanted To Die
8. The Security Guard - Batman Forever
Tim Burton's Batman movies were massive hits, although Batman Returns darker tone had caused major problems with the movie's commercial partners, including McDonalds.
This led to Burton being replaced with Joel Schumacher and a more campy, child friendly direction starting with 1995's Batman Forever and ending with the colossal failure of Batman & Robin in 1998.
Schumacher brought in a lot of annoying characters, some due to the inane scripts or using actors who were inappropriate for the tone, such as Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face.
The most annoying character in the whole of the Batman movie series however, shows up just minutes into Batman Forever. The security guard in the bank vault that Two-Face is stealing isn't a bad actor, indeed Joe Grifasi has appeared in everything from The Deer Hunter and Brewster's Millions to Natural Born Killers.
What makes him so annoying is the clearly poor voice that is looped over his performance. If it's his then he deserves all the criticism along with Schumacher. This guy whines "My hearing aid", when Batman uses it to crack a safe (I know right?) and then comes the epic line "Oh No...Boiling Acid".
For many, that was the movie right there, and Schumacher's tenure in charge of Gotham City. Forget nipples on the Batsuit or Arnold in a dressing gown telling his goons to sing. That one character and line killed the whole franchise.
