Hands up! Obviously, we don't want you hangin' on to anything except dear life!
~ Grumpy while robbing the bank.

Grumpy is a minor antagonist in the 2008 film The Dark Knight, the second installment of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy. He was an accomplice of the Joker in the robbery of Gotham National Bank.

He was portrayed by the late Danny Goldring.

History[]

The Bus Driver is hired by the Joker as one of five small-time criminals to help him rob the Gotham National Bank where the Gotham City Mob's money is stored. Along with Chuckles and Bozo (who is actually The Joker in disguise), Grumpy is one of the three thugs who take over the bank lobby, whilst Dopey and Happy disable the alarm system and crack open the safe, respectively. When he's reminded about they may have to split it into six shares instead of five, because they have to count the one who planned the heist, he implies that they might just run off with their shares of the money and not pay the Joker his cut. When Chuckles is killed by the bank manager, both Bozo and Grumpy dove for cover. Bozo tricked Grumpy into taking the manager's last round though the wound is not fatal.

With the lobby pacified, Grumpy makes his way to the safe, shoots Happy after he opens it, and loads the safe's cash into bags. Realizing that both Happy and Dopey has both been killed on the Joker's orders, and remembering the trick Bozo pulled earlier, Grumpy believes that he is next and aims his gun at Bozo who walks in a circle as Grumpy keeps aim at him and manoeuvres him into standing in just the right place. As Grumpy exclaims that he bet the Joker told Bozo to kill him as well once the cash is loaded, Bozo corrects him and tells him that he was told to kill the bus driver. Grumpy, confused, demands to know what bus driver he is talking about but is then hit and killed by the getaway bus being driven into the bank's lobby by the bus driver in question.

Personality[]

Grumpy was an extremely treacherous and violent criminal who happily pistol whipped a bank employee for no reason. He was also happy to murder his cohorts to get a bigger cut but was smart enough to realize that he was going to be next on the hit list.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Pain Resistance: Grumpy had an almost inhuman resistance to pain since he was shot in the shoulder by the Bank Manager's shotgun but was completely unaffected.

Arsenal[]

  • Glock 17: During the bank robbery, Grumpy wielded a silenced Glock 17 machine pistol.
  • Beretta 92SB-C 9x19mm: Grumpy used this compact model of the 92SB service pistol to murder Happy.
