I feel like Lil Gotham is more like a Super Deformed version of the concept, mainly making them cute but not actually babies/kids, though I may be misremembering.

The idea of Bond having a nephew was used again in 1991 in an American animated series for television, in which the title character defeats threats to ensure the safety of the free world. The series was mildly successful, spawning a six-volume novelization series by John Peel, a 12-issue comic book series by Marvel Comics published in 1992, and video games for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super NES.

Muppet Babies introduced me to Star Wars. I had no idea wtf it was when I watched it until I was much older.

There was also a trend going in the other direction with

All Grown Up (Rugrats)
Quack Pack (Ducktales)
A Goofy Movie (Goof Troop)

Reminder: There was an entire character in Tiny Toons whose schtick was that he would swear constantly. His name was Fowlmouth and he was the modern version of Foghorn Leghorn, except instead of a southern accent, he had a Brooklyn accent.

There was also a reoccurring character who as a straight up serial killer

Also the voice of Hampton's dad there is the same voice actor as Dexter's dad from Dexter's Lab

There was an episode of Tiny Toons that was a 1992 version of those old 1950's "famous people at restaurants" cartoons that Looney Tunes used to do that is the most 90s thing ever, but I can't find any clips online.

That's a new generation theme much like Tiny Toon Adventures. That was a separate trope that was pretty big in the 90s where they tried to bring back classic IPs with a new cast. See also: Star Trek: TNG and the Generation X comics.

? How was Generation X a classic IP (assuming you're talking about the X-title)?

It's a new take on the classic X-Men IP with a new team. It's basically the new generation of X-Men.

Eh, it was basically a redo of New Mutants. I think we have to take comics out of it because ever since, say, Teen Titans it's always been popular to try to reach out with younger versions of teams. New Warriors, Young Avengers, or before them Infinity Inc and Young All Stars, etc. all fit that bill. Heck, for New Warriors, for whatever reason Nova decided he wanted to be called Kid Nova.
