An athlete in a race, an adventurer on top of a train, a pirate boarding a ship, a cunning politician executing an amazing plan, a Lovable Rogue during a Swordfight, a warrior during a Last Stand, two friends sparring—anyone facing an interesting and fun challenge with a reasonable chance of failure will sport one of these smiles. It's usually a bit forced, showing the strain and stress the user is under, and sometimes there could be a certain edge of malice and aggressiveness to it, even insanity: a hint of bloodlust, to be precise. Alongside genuine heroes, it's also very common amongst AntiHeroes of the Unscrupulous and Nominal types as well, especially if they are young and/or adrenaline junkies. It is usually coupled with a steady gaze, even a frown of sorts. The heroic counterpart to the Slasher Smile and the Psychotic Smirk, which both are mostly about enjoying the anticipation of hurting others, especially when it's secret and they're unaware of the threat. In contrast, the Grin of Audacity is about relishing the anticipation of winning. It may overlap with Dying Smirk. |

Worm: In Chapter 20.5, Skitter is cornered by five superheroes, two of whom are wearing Powered Armor, without her armor or weapons and with her superpower effectively neutralized. Then she realizes that her opponents are still leery of attacking in fear of her pulling an ace from her sleeve at the last minute. Cue grin. Tattletale wears a smile all the time. Her smiles become these whenever she's facing down near-impossible odds. |

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the king of the penguins can be seen smiling with furrowed brows as he orders his soldiers to attack the Koopas — even though his confidence is woefully misplaced, with the battle quickly ending with Bowser and the Koopas having barely taken damage from the penguins' snowballs and ice projectile. | |

While the trope description DID say that Batman doesn't engage in this trope, Justice League gives him two awesome instances where he does. First is when he pulls an Oh, Wait! on the Secret Society's ambush on him, and then after he gets one up on the Joker during the Injustice for All two-parter. If BATMAN pulls this, you know he's just outclassed you badly. | |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann delivers some particularly compelling examples. One good example comes from climax at the first episode. Simon, Kamina and Yoko are in Lagann and Simon has manifested drills on Lagann to defeat the Gunman. The Gunman is being used as an impromptu drill while the trio head to the surface. As Kamina proclaims they're heading to the surface, Simon manages to crack out a confident smile for the first time and giving the audience a glimpse at the true power the young man possesses. |

Yang Xiao Long wears one often throughout the RWBY trailer featuring her, preceding the delivery of a Curb-Stomp Battle. This continues onto many of her fights in early volumes, but she stops it once things get more serious and she develops past her Blood Knight tendencies. Neopolitan has an arrogant smirk plastered on her face throughout her fight against Yang in Volume 2. It causes the easily agitated rookie Huntress to completely lose her cool and Neo exploits this for all its worth, leading Yang to a swift and easy defeat. Her uncle Qrow also does this in his battle with Winter, to show that he's not taking it too seriously and because the whole thing's a Batman Gambit to make her lose her temper in front of her boss. He later grins when he gets the upper hand on Tyrian during a fight, contrasting the villain's Slasher Smile. |

Final Fantasy VII Cloud although better known for frowning/looking impassive has been known to smile◊ like this. Even in his concept art.

So are many Robin's and Batgirl's in the Batman family. Usually: in their case, it's youthful enthusiasm, insecure optimism, and a bit of a prankster spirit.

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Being as wild as the day is long, Tony Stark in Iron Man Films often grins like this. Special mention to the little smile◊ he has when Thor unintentionally charges his suit up to 400% capacity during their fight in The Avengers (2012). The titular God of Thunder in Thor wears this expression while wrecking Ice Giants. In The Stinger of The Avengers (2012), when told that fighting the humans is to "court death", Thanos smiles. Natasha in Captain America: The Winter Soldier during the opening fight on the ship grins and cracks wise at a mook before taking him down. Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) frequently has this in expression while fighting or just witnessing violence. Captain Marvel (2019): Carol unlocking her binary state causes the power on Mar-Vell's ship to go haywire and cut out, including extinguishing the force field bars of the jail cell where the Skrulls are all being held.

A tragic example: in Yakuza 0, the baddies are torturing Tachibana for the location of the owner of the Empty Lot, but the thug doing the torturing, Yoneda, is getting too rowdy with his giant sledgehammer; Lieutenant Kuze scolds him saying that their prisoner is of no value for them dead, and proceeds to stop the torture and loosen his wraps. This prompts Tachibana to give the two-bit yakuza a small grin... which unfortunately makes Yoneda lose his shit and smash Tachibana's head on with the hammer, killing him. | |

Black Lagoon: In contrast to the bloodthirsty Slasher Smiles sported by many of the cast, Rock's badass smiles tend toward these. They primarily come out when Rock has some kind of crazy plan in mind, or when he proposes something that's just... incomprehensible by most villain standards (like asking mercy for their victims). Justified since he stated that he asked for it because he likes it, just like the bad dudes loves to blow themselves up. You first see one on him at the very beginning, when Revy challenges him, a Japanese salaryman to a drinking duel. As of El Baile De La Muerte, Rock's Grin Of Audacity has become pretty damn unnerving (and blurring the lines between this trope and the Slasher Smile), to the point where Revy seems uneasy. | |

Berserk: Guts during the Golden Age has this expression, with Casca noting that when he smiles he like that he needs no help in a battle. Post Eclipse having lost nearly all sense of morality in the pursuit of vengeance, Guts has a Slasher Smile instead. | |

Wonder Woman (2017): After Diana's Shockwave Clap incident in training, all the Amazons look on her with fearful awe. Her mother is horrified that her power is manifesting. Antiope? She smirks as she lays on the ground after getting Blown Across the Room by the shockwave; she finally succeeded in getting her niece's latent divine powers to manifest. | |

If Sterling Archer even acknowledges what's going on in a firefight, he'll often have this expression. The best part of being a secret agent for him is being as over-the-top as possible, and turning things around from a hopeless position (and vice-versa) is second nature for him. | |

Steven Universe: Garnet gives a beautiful one for most of her fight against Jasper in the finale of Season 1, paired with her Badass Boast which she actually sings to Jasper while kicking her ass. Given her default personality, it was definitely that one moment which people will remember about her forever. In a Whole Episode Flashback, Rose Quartz faces down a Fusion Dance of three Rubies with a smirk... before taking the Fusion down with a few punches. |

In Rebuild World, Akira often sports one of these when in the thick of a fight, especially when Alpha offers him any semblance of good news given his bad luck. People who see him doing this mistake him for a Blood Knight, when Akira is actually terrified. Eventually after establishing a Bash Brothers sort of bond with Carol, they both do this while fighting together on his flying motorcycle. |

Our Miss Brooks: Sported by Walter Denton, whenever conniving to pull an especially severe prank on Mr. Conklin. Being told off sometimes serves to encourage the grin (except by Mr. Conklin himself, of whom Denton is somewhat afraid). Noticeable in "Wild Goose", "Space, Who Needs It?", "Cure That Habit", "Marinated Hearing" and "Spare That Rod!". Walter is also proud of having a "dark secret". In "Citizen's League", Miss Brooks suffers from guilt for having accidentally stuck a pin in the seat of the church organist Mrs. Dunfy when fitting her dress for the governor's wedding. Miss Brooks asks Walter if he himself has a dark secret. Walter smirks, laughs, and says he does. However, after being chewed out by Miss Brooks, Walter admits it's far from terrible, and again in the nature of a teenage prank. In "Wake Up Plan", Mr. Conklin laughs at his having sent a letter to the board of education, reporting Miss Brooks for missing her morning classes. This is in spite of admitted to himself, out loud, that it was a terrible thing to do. In The Movie Grand Finale, Mrs. Davis suggests to Mr. Boynton that Lawrence Nolan had induced Miss Brooks to take a trip on his yacht so he might seduce her. Mr. Boynton is outraged, and begins frantically checking his address book. Meanwhile, Mrs. Davis smiles and stifles a giggles, overjoyed that her use of Operation: Jealousy was off to a fine start! |

Gandhi is good at this, although it's a cute little smile rather than a grin. (Truth In Television and Ben Kingsley does it perfectly.) He gives it to menacing British authorities when he knows he's right. It's extremely disarming, especially in response to "You're under arrest!" | |

In Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality's fan art, Harry is often represented wearing this, as befits a Young Conqueror, as do his retainers in the Chaos Legion (don't ask). Then a certain Wham Episode happens, some illusions are shattered, and Harry's expressions become much more grim: it's instead Hermione and her group that take up most of the more optimistic kind of heroing. | |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, there is often a scene where Jaden is losing and takes a hard attack, and gets up off the ground looking downcast, seemingly holding back emotion... and then his Hidden Eyes are revealed, he's laughing in joy, and he's wearing one of these. He then proclaims that he's enjoying the duel and will continue to do so, especially because he's about to win. Given the typical state of the game at that point, his opponent is usually dismissive - but he usually proceeds to do just that. | |

Fire Force: Crossing over with The Un-Smile, Shinra Kasukabe has a tendency to grin like a madman whenever he is in a perilous situation, not so much because he's confident as much as it is a mental defense mechanism.

Batman (1989): Michael Keaton's Dark Knight could pull this off, as seen facing off against Jack Napier in the chemical plant. In Batman Returns he infamously has a full on Slasher Smile while killing one mook with dynamite. In The Flash (2023) he marks his long anticipated return with another one of these. | |

In The Powerpuff Girls, Blossom tends to range between this and your average benevolent smile, while Buttercup, the most grumpy and short-tempered of the girls, usually ranges between this and a Psychotic Smirk, though genuine smiles will still appear on her face at certain moments. | |

Doctor Who: The Third Doctor has a memorable sequence in "The Sea Devils" in which he pins the Master at sword-point, and then starts eating the Master's lunch in front of him while smirking enormously. The Fourth Doctor, an arrogant, reckless and Nightmare Fetishistic adrenaline-junkie and Lord President of the Cheshire Cat Grin, does this very frequently in his more action-orientated serials (like "The Seeds of Doom" where he flashes one while snapping a man's neck, pointing a gun at a room full of villains, and so on). He also does an amazingly big one at the end of "The Invasion of Time" to signify that he's returning to acting like himself, after being acting in a cold, humourless and smileless way for the entire story thus far as part of a Batman Gambit. One absolutely heartbreaking example is in "Logopolis", when the dying Doctor glances up at his concerned companions, and flashes his distinctive, terrifying, mad smile for a fraction of a second before mumbling his last words and regenerating. The Thirteenth Doctor carries on the proud tradition, sporting a wide cheeky grin as she does anything crazy, awesome, or crazy awesome. If she's about to thwart the Villain of the Week, her smile can become downright feral. |

In Dragon Ball Goku gives a confident smile when he's prepared to face a strong opponent. Something Roshi Lampshades at least once, much to the irritation of Goku's wife. Vegeta and Piccolo do in battle as well, often overlapping with Slasher Smile with the former. | |

This is the default expression for any protagonist in the Ace Attorney series once they start on their cleverer hunches, especially when they're onto something that turns a previously hopeless case upside-down. Then again, this can be said for just about anyone in these games pursuing the legal profession, as it's clear they all enjoy their jobs far too much. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: When, after everything Negi has thrown at him, Jack Rakan still gets up to fight, Negi isn't sad, or angry, he's 'awed all over again!' Also a little bit earlier during a fight with Kagetarou, when Negi realizes he's at a big disadvantage (though this one is with a bit of Bloodlust) |

Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith, just as he, Obi-Wan, and Odd Ball's squadron of clone pilots prepare to slog their way through a swarm of Seperatist fighters between them and their target. Later in Obi-Wan Kenobi it’s revealed he has this expression under his mask as Darth Vader. Naturally this doubles as Slasher Smile. |

Lupin III's cocky smile is seen whenever he's mid-heist or is about to get the advantage. Seeing as this is Lupin we're talking about, this is often. Jigen sometimes gets his own grin when he is truly enjoying himself. It is not too far off from Lupin's own grin. |
