Not long ago the comic books actually tried to do something a *little* like this with post-Harley Joker henchgirl Punchline. It wasn't as smart as it thought it was—mostly because the writer (or writers, I forget who was involved) wouldn't or couldn't go so far as this. IIRC the villain was only seen as a victimized truth teller because of "online misinformation" and "internet extremism."
