* Since Shadow the Hedgehog is supposed to be a darker version of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' (Stalwart of the Sideways Smile), when he isn't scowling, he will occasionally drop one of these.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Franchise/DespicableMe'': Being an ex-villain, Gru tends toward this expression rather than the CheshireCatGrin when he's up to something. It's most noticeable in the first film, when he decides to take out the "Space Killer" game at Super Silly Fun Land. The sidelong smirk he flashes just before he draws his plasma blaster would set any sane human who saw it running for the hills.

** Fantastic things are done with lighting to make [[Characters/DexterDexterMorgan Dexter Morgan]] look as much like Light Yagami as possible when he turns on the evil grin.

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': In "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E2AfterThePhantomsOfYourFormerSelf ...After the Phantoms of Your Former Self]]", Lestat de Lioncourt grins while [[SarcasticClapping sarcastically applauding]] at the end of the ''Don Pasquale'' performance because he knows he'll relish [[DisproportionateRetribution tormenting and devouring the tenor whose lousy singing spoiled his date night]].

* Light from ''Manga/DeathNote''. Three words: "Exactly as planned." One smirk he busts out is so momentous, it's accompanied by a sudden earthquake in the cinematography.

* ''Fanfic/DungeonKeeperAmi'': Ami, like her canon counterpart, is as about a nice a girl as you can get. But occasionally she'll have a really 'good' science related idea or figure out how to get back at a villain in the perfect way. Then a very disturbing smile appears on her face, and it really doesn't help that her eyes glow [[spoiler: red]]

Added DiffLines:

* In ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'', Leviathan describes a photo of Iron Gates--a thief she'd previously fought against, and someone who's part of the BigBad's inner circle--as him having this smile, coupled with a raised eyebrow in a blatant reference to the DreamworksFace. Just looking at it makes her want to destroy the photo.

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', during Book VII, [[spoiler: King Njörðr sports an unsettlingly evil smirk during TheReveal that he set up a trap for Seiðr by turning her beloved Heiðr into a eight-headed snake monster, then forcing her to kill her. [[EvilAllAlong This was all part of his plans]] so that the Golden Curse would trasnfer from Heiðr to Seiðr and that she would become Gullveig, the Golden Seer that she had fought to prevent from being born.]]

* Creator/MichaelKeaton's version of Batman was prone to doing this: twice in ''Film/Batman1989'' (first when telling one of the muggers [[{{Catchphrase}} "I'm Batman,"]] then again when [[ComicBook/TheJoker Jack Napier]] says "Nice suit.") and once in ''Film/BatmanReturns'' (when strapping the bomb to the strongman).
