When asking who Italy liked, Japan-who was Cosplaying as Teru Mikami-gave off an ominous glasses glint.

Parodied in Hetalia: Axis Powers fanfic Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità.

There's a very creepy panel where we get a close-up of his eyes with Alice reflected in them.

In Alan Moore's Lost Girls, during Alice's telling of her story, her father's friend 'Bunny' (the equivalent of the White Rabbit) who later takes her virginity wears a pair reflecting glasses.

Simon Lee also has this (at least in Scott's imagination).

This effect happens a few times with Gideon Graves in Scott Pilgrim, as well as with Lynette Guycott (especially noticeable when she punches the highlights out of Knives' hair).

Gibson Praise in The X-Files Season 10.

Also the former head of the project Professor Truett Hudson.

Malcolm Colcord, director of the Weapon X Program in the X-Men comics often has them, most notable on the cover of Weapon X #6.

He's giving a speech, and as he looks down at his notes and back up again, the reflection switches on and off.

Oddly, this is used for Commissioner Gordon in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.

This trope was overused with this guy to the point modern portrayals usually show him with mirrorred Spectacles to mimick the effect of Scary Shiny Glasses permanently.

Hugo Strange, long-time member of Batman's Rogues Gallery is usually depicted with these.This is carried over to the film version of the story.

#FACELESS PERSON WITH GLASSES SERIAL#

In 'The Hard Goodbye', the first graphic novel of Sin City, the cannibalistic serial killer Kevin wears glasses with lenses that often whited out so his eyes are not visible.The Corinthian in The Sandman (1989) always wears reflective sunglasses, but then, that's really preferable to looking at what he actually has in his eye sockets.Played straight, however, with Peter Grimm. More of a subversion, since Ray isn't really that bad a guy. When he finally takes them off it's revealed that his eyes are glowing radioactively.

Triple X Ray in Sleeper (WildStorm) has this even in the dark.The Ax-Crazy protagonist of Welcome to Hoxford has this, and he never takes his glasses off.As an adolescent, Sara/h from The Maxx is often shown in silhouette with only the blank lenses of her glasses visible.It's probably to foreshadow his being a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing. For some odd reason, David in the comic book adaption of Shaun of the Dead has this trope, making him look strangely like Gendo Ikari.Can also be combined with a High-Class Glass for use by a Nazi Nobleman or Evil Aristocrat. Compare Malevolent Masked Men and Opaque Lenses. Character Tics involving adjusting one's glasses - particularly by pushing them up the nose - has an alarming tendency to trigger this trope. Characters with Four Eyes, Zero Soul are prone to this. The shades worn by The Men in Black are a lesser variant see Sinister Shades. Other times the possessor is Not Even Human.

Sometimes the glasses are a visual metaphor for the bearer's inhumane qualities. A variation is to have the glow complete on one lens, but just a flash or not there at all on the other, allowing the audience to see just how sinister the character is being behind his eyepiece. A single flash of the glasses can represent a sudden increase of intention, but to really be Scary Shiny Glasses they need to have an even, creepy glow. People with Scary Shiny Glasses never have The Glasses Come Off for just fights. Often for extra effect their bodies will just be a black outline, with the glasses as the only visible detail.

When they are in effect, the glasses reflect light such that all you can see are two white circles, nothing is visible of the eyes. The Scary Shiny Glasses can be turned on or off at will by the wearer they can especially crank it up for intimidation. If the symbolism is particularly ham-handed, you can even expect the glasses to be non-prescription lenses, easy to break or take off during a moment of epiphany - or death. If you can't even see their eyes because of light reflecting off their glasses, beware - for these are individuals who deliberately wall themselves off from the people around them. This is because eyes are very important to conveying emotions. Large eyes represent honesty and innocence, while smaller eyes indicate darker personalities. Traditionally, one's eyes are an indicator of one's character. These are definitely not mere Nerd Glasses, although they are sometimes mistaken for them at first.
