[up]That's not really an example; Snidely Whiplash getup aside, Spike isn't a villain.

[up] He is one in the episode that`s from. As much as we`re evidently supposed to pity Spike, trying to frame another character for anything is morally wrong.

(On a sidenote, do we have a trope for temporary villainy in a character who is otherwise usually good; or at least on the same side as good?)

EDITED IN: Speaking of harmless villainy, I think the Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain page image would be more convincing without the bottom panel, which makes it look like Batman is running away.

[up]Just because he does something morally questionable doesn't make him a villain. And it's kinda hard to tell what he's even doing if you don't know the context.

Agreed, I have no idea what's supposed to be happening in those two pics.

[up][up] Doing what is morally wrong is kind of what villainy is about.

That said, if it doesn`t work without context, then let`s keep looking.

Maybe that episode of the 60's Batman with him and the Joker having a surfing contest?

I'm not familiar with them but lack of secret base and giant gun make them look harmless too.

Re: 13: I think the combination of the sign and their expressions is quite effective. I also think they have villainous hats, but maybe that's just me.
