2. Maggie Gyllenhaal
Released in 2008, The Dark Knight was a tour de force blockbuster best known for Heath Ledger‘s haunting (and tragic) portrayal of The Joker and Christopher Nolan‘s brilliantly meaty story, not to mention a box office that surpassed $1 billion worldwide. Remarkably, Nolan’s epic was almost ruined by a supporting player who is (spoiler alert) killed off halfway through. Maggie Gylenhaal‘s Rachel Dawes was so grating and obnoxious that it was hard to muster much sympathy for Bruce Wayne’s erstwhile love interest when she was killed by The Joker.

Even Katie Holmes, hardly a great actress, fared better in the role of Dawes in 2005’s Batman Begins.
