Can good characters engender judgement?

Yes, good characters can engender judgement, because even though they are good, noone is perfect. There is always that bad seed inside them. This is shown in many novels, films, and more.

If you have seen the movie Big Daddy starring Adam Sandler, you have seen a good example of the judgement. In the film, Sonny (Sandler) plays a man who wants to show his girlfriend he is mature. He does so by adopting a child, which promptly causes his girlfriend to leave him. Once he finds out he can't return the kid, he trys to raise him in....controversial....ways (ex. teaching the kid to dent cans of food on the ground in the supermarket to get them half price). This would draw judgement on whether Sonny is responsible enough to have a child. But he never hurts the kid, makes him go to school, and has fun with him. At the end, when the courts try to take the kid away, he makes a heart wrenching appeal on why he should keep him. Even though he loses the case, he still shows that he loves the child, wants to keep him, and that he would do his best to raise the kid, even though he's not perfect.

So in conclusion, whether you're Supreman or an average joe, nobody is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. There are flaws in everyone, but how well you let the good parts shine is what makes all the difference.
