Every once in a while actors think that they have to scrunch up their eyes while being on screen. Reasons for that are manifold, though it most commonly seems to be a way of increasing the badass level of the character they are playing. Squeezing your eyes together works like a focusing mechanism for the Death Glare. However, some actors seem to think of the Clint Squint as some sort of cheap way to add depth to a character (which is, of course, destined to fail). In animation, where facial expressions are often either very broad or completely absent, a stoic character's choice of expressions can be basically limited to this (as everything else is either too emotionally open, or too subtle to convey). |

Deconstructed in Unforgiven. The Schofield Kid tries this, but it just makes him look silly. It later turns out the kid's got astigmatism and can't see for shit, which is why he squints. | |

Max Payne in the first game of the series, but only when he is shooting (when he is not, his face is relaxed). This is, however, his most famous look because it's the most common in action screenshots. | |

In Batman: The Animated Series, Batman is extremely stoic and hard to surprise. When in costume, nearly his only way to react to anything is narrowing his eyes. In an episode of Justice League Unlimited Amanda Waller calls him "Rich-boy", implying that she knows his identity, and the only response he makes is to widen his eyes. The very first time you see him in the Animated series, his very first action, is to squint(0:36). |

In a non-biological sense, the "T-shape" made by the squinting eyes and nose of this trope (plus the other Spaghetti Western tropes embodied in it) supposedly inspired the T-shaped visor of bounty hunter Boba Fett in Star Wars, since his film debut in The Empire Strikes Back. Naturally, since the expansion of the lore behind Fett's background, this has come to characterize every Mandalorian that has come to life in the franchise since. | |
