The Joker would be #1 on my list with Harley a close second. The only reason I put Harley at #2 is because I've actually enjoyed some titles she was in that her presence didn't overwhelm or otherwise ruin for me. I can't say the same for the Joker.
Bizarro bugs me because I don't get why they keep using him. He was a funny gag when comics were aimed at children, but that's all he is - a one-joke (that isn't very funny) gimmick. Of course I tend to avoid reading him, but of the times I've read him taken seriously just reinforces that idea to me.
Lobo and Harley are annoying for the same reason - their popularity has given them not just plot armor, but raised their abilities beyond what they should be.
Hm, maybe I just don't like white characters...
Tim Drake. Pointless, odourless, flavourless and utterly lacking in nutritional value.
Writers keep prescribing him to me but I'm yet to see results or any Improvement. In fact the situation has gotten annoying to the point I've developed an allergic reaction to anything Tim Drake related.
Writers need to undermine other characters to butterss him is also annoying as heck and ruins any arc's he is in for me.
Needs to retire.
Lobo, because he's almost completely evil, but often written in a way that seems like we're supposed to like him.
Ah, I see. Don't get me wrong, I like the character, but I totally admit that that is because I approach him on a superfícial level. "Black, legacy, pacifist Superman" is a real cool premise that I can totally get behind.
That said, Earth 2 started getting worse and worse by the time he was introduced. I kinda of zoned out of that comic and, if I'm honest, had I paid as much attention to it as you did, I'd probably be annoyed by every character there as well.
ConnEr Kent flies. ConnOr Hawke has a bow. Batman's kid is named DamiAn.

Damian Wayne.
I think pacifism is a noble thing in real life, but I feel like it makes for a less-than-exciting superhero. What I like about Clark is that, while he doesn't want to hurt anyone and will try to avoid it, he will absolutely throw down if he has to.
I was initially interested that we were getting a legacy Superman in Earth 2 and thought his design looked great, but I was just really disappointed in the execution. I wanted to like him, but ooof.
Lobo. (I'll probably think of someone else worse in the middle of the night, but Lobo's bad no matter what!)

Add me to the list for Harley and Lobo.
I don’t dislike the characters, so much as the DC creatives direction with both characters.
It’s been apparent for decades that DC wants so hard for both to occupy the Deadpool role in the public consciousness. In-universe, it doesn’t work. Out-of-universe, the general audience sees them as pretenders/try-hards. Look at how Harley was viewed in the BOP movie. Frequent references to her being a mix of Deadpool and Jack Sparrow (POTC). When Harley has her own personality and story they could explore.

Jon Kent. I never liked him as the “gee schucks” all American boy in the Rebirth era and I really don’t like him aged up. He’s become a pointless character and harkens back to the time Didio and co felt there was nothing left to do with Clark Kent so they tried to phase him out and put Jon in his place.
Oh yeah. The Batman Who Laughs is near the top of the list.
Joker. He's not a "threat". He's a guy with white skin. He has no actual powers. His gimmick is that he supposedly makes people crazy or whatever.
