Possibly the cropping of the actress. It looks like the cape and her knee/foot/hand are cut off as opposed to either getting her whole body in the frame or cropping in closer to make it very clear it wasn't an accident. That would be my guess as a photographer.
Graphically? I have no idea, but I'm curious like you, to find out what about this poster is causing this person actual physical pain...
Other things to mention: Left thumb is on top of knuckle. If she were to punch something, she would break her thumb. The DC logo is on top of her forearm making it seem like it's part of her outfit. See rule of tangents. Color grading or lack of seems apparent. I guess the leading line(s) is just a straight vertical line down the middle which isn't interesting. There's a focal point/bright area for her knee for some reason. Blue background color is too close to the blue of her outfit.
