>>They never show how Batman first fought the Joker or the Penguin.
>Because they assumed kids saw the movies.

When I was a kid, I could never figure out if this show was a continuation to the Burton movies or not. Obviously the Joker and Penguin are still alive. Joker was called Jack Napier in some episodes, penguin has his amphibious Penguin mobile. The cartoons always had a light tie-in to the movies. The name was changed to Adventures of Batman & Robin around the same year that the Batman & Robin movie was released. Batman TAS/ New Adventures/ Batman & Robin were always aligned with the movies.
