Here in the United States the campy 1960s Batman TV show was endlessly rerun in the 1970s, and just about every American baby boomer knows all the villains from that show, including Mr. Freeze. I suspect that a poll in 1990 would have shown that Mr. Freeze had a much higher name recognition among the American public than Two Face or the Scarecrow, both of whom appeared frequently in 1970s and 1980s comics but who had never appeared on the Batman TV show.

Perhaps the show wasn't being rerun in Scotland when Morrison was a young lad?

(I'm not disputing the right answer; Wally is the judge for his own question!) I think it's odd too, but for whatever reason Morrison considered him to be forgotten, and so it's still the right answer.
