Temporal arrogance. Back in the day, BTAS actually invented a lot of those backstories and tropes (Freeze and Harley being the most famous). Unless you're proposing time traveling children, no a lot of kids watching the show back then wouldn't have known that stuff because it didn't exist yet.I have known the backstories and basic tropes of all of Batman's rogue gallery since I was young, and any kid who would care enough to watch a Batman cartoon would as well.
Especially as the previous Batman in pop culture was the Adam West series so the animated show had to distinguish itself from that show's tropes and backstories.
