I think it was strange that Morrison considered Mr. Freeze to have been "forgotten". 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 the late 1980s would have shown that Mr. Freeze had a much higher name recognition among the public than Two Face or the Scarecrow, both of whom appeared frequently in 1970s and 1980s comics but who had not been featured on the Batman TV show.

But perhaps the show wasn't being rerun in Scotland when Morrison was a young lad.
