I would agree with you on those two examples. Frank Miller's Batman for all he is, still needs to justify to himself that he is "helping" people in the long run, however warped that view is it still demonstrates an attempt to do right, he is a sociopath but not a Complete Monster simply because of effort he wishes to put in to the contrary. I could be argued that Pearl still applies though and her selfish behaviors are not a result of any malice/intent but rather the result of delusion, however I have not seen all episodes so I could not say for certain in her case.

But your over all take-in is correct. A Complete Monster will never attempt to do anything even remotely noble and someone the Pure of Heart can never be do intentional harm and will often be attempting to help others at any opportunity to do so.

However Pure of Heart are not necessarily selfless all the time, Charlotte "Lottie" LaBouff  for example from Princess and the Frog, could be considered Pure of Heart, I'm not sure if I would assign her as such, but it would be reasonable to call her so. She is also self-absorbed and small-minded however she dedicates her time to helping others entirely whenever she sees them in need even if her default setting is spoiled debutant. There are other such characters too Gwen Stacy, Persephone, Clea of the Dark Dimension, Kazuma Kuwabara, Yugi Muto, Alphonse Elric and Maud Flanders who all have-self interests or moments of things like conceit but never at the expense of others and will each drop whatever personal issue they are going through to help someone even slightly in need. A Pure of Heart may have personality flaws but never to a fault, they need not be angels, just uncompromisingly good.
