Yea, the bar for pleading insanity is that you literally cannot understand that what you did was wrong. Basically any villain interesting enough to be a “villain” surely is too sane, at least how basically any comic book villains are written.
After all, you’re generally supposed to not like them, but a villain that literally cannot understand what they’re doing as bad would risk a lot of sympathy. (and probably make for a badass story in the right writer’s hands)
