It's a well-known fact that Justice is blind. But it's sometimes more than just a "well-known fact": Some works feature actually blind characters working for truth and justice; others reference the saying in another way.

Bleach: Played straight with Tosen. He's blind and strives for justice, but joins with Aizen because, although he thinks he has a clear view of justice, he's blinded by his desire for revenge. Thanks to the specific autocratic nature of the Central 46, a shinigami who killed his wife over something trivial became a Karma Houdini. Since that wife was a very close friend of Tousen's, he didn't take it well and swore to uphold justice in her name and by her sword. He obtained his justice against the Central 46 by supporting Aizen's move to kill them all and leaving with Aizen to join the enemy the shinigami existed to fight. He left behind two people who vowed to open his eyes to true justice. They did.

Wonder Woman: Themis, Titan of Divine Law and Justice, usually wears a blindfold while on Olympus serving in her role as mediator of judgement. For a time, Wonder Woman herself became blinded after a battle with Medusa and wore a blindfold, clearly invoking the image of Lady Justice.

Marvel Universe:
Daredevil is Marvel's foremost blind superhero, and a defense attorney as his civilian job.
The Shroud was blinded in a ritual which awakened mystical senses, and uses the darkforce to trap and fight criminals.
Libra, a longtime Avengers foe, invokes this motif. He is a blind man, his costume has a Libra symbol, and often talks about balance.
The Hawkeye foe Blind Justice was a blind vigilante with a scales symbol on his costume.

BlazBlue: Tsubaki Yayoi plays with this. She has a bit of an overexaggerated sense of justice due to being a fangirl of historical dramas. While she means well, she's also loyal to the NOL, which has tasked her with the execution of Jin (her crush) and Noel (her friend). Additionally, her Ars Armagus Izayoi "steals the light from the user's eyes," which will eventually cause Tsubaki to go blind. As of the end of Continuum Shift, Tsubaki has also made a Face–Heel Turn due to Hazama spoon-feeding her half-truths about Noel stealing Tsubaki's place as Jin's secretary in the current timeline (he intentionally left out that the Jin of that timeline—who went on to become Hakumen—still neglected Tsubaki and Tsubaki ultimately died Taking the Bullet for Jin), which brings out Tsubaki's darker side.

Mortal Kombat: Kenshi Takahashi starts out as something of a subversion, being blinded thanks to letting Shang Tsung manipulate him (an Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy before the series started) into opening a tomb belonging to the souls of his ancestors and then going on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge after the sorcerer. Over time, he mellows out into a lone vigilante of sorts who hunts down corrupt criminal organizations at night. Seeing as he's a partial homage to Daredevil, one of Kenshi's combos from Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon is named "Blind Justice".

Parodied in A Series of Unfortunate Events. The judges insist that everyone in the courtroom wears blindfolds so that justice will be blind. They're evil, and using this to cover their kidnapping/escape.

Marine admiral Fujitora from One Piece. He is even implied to pride himself by it as he says: "The blind ones have the privilege of not seeing certain terrible things in this world". Fujitora turns out to have blinded himself deliberately so that he would no longer have to look at the evil in the world.

Judge Dredd: The fact that no one ever sees Judge Dredd's eyes through his helmet's dark visor is supposed to be a reference to this. Moreover, he was blinded once when he visited a Bad Future. When he returned to the present, he had Electronic Eyes inserted.

Helltaker has Justice, the former High Prosecutor of Hell, who passed judgement (no, not the current High Prosecutor Judgement) upon sinners that were sent her way. Fittingly enough, at some point in her career she became permanently blinded, which is somewhat implied to be the reason she's retired in the first place.
