I agree. The trope is about enemies that are not dangerous but annoying. The current image would mislead people to think it's about literal bats.
Fjón þvæ ég af mér fjanda minna rán og reiði ríkra manna.The trope isn't Bat Out of Hell, or about bats at all, it's "weak enemies that are annoying".

TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupWe could also move the image I put on GoddamnedBats.The Legend Of Zelda here, showing Link surrounded by Miniblins looking annoyed.
13's fine.

Why would actual bats work better? Sticking to the title only makes the trope seem narrow.
They shouldn't, tropes often have Non-Indicative Name (and if people use bats as examples that's a warrant to rename the trope). Images only need to demonstrate the description.
Tropes Are Flexible, and images are a good way to reflect that. It’s why, say, the pic for Pet the Dog contains a cat.

It's sad, because this is such a good image...
...But it's 2/3rds of the comic strip.

Also, it annoys me a little that instead being potholed to the original creator or linked to them or something, it's just potholed to the franchise itself. Like it's official art.
