@Eac101 - Good question. Even in the old show, BB's orgin story only got scratched on the surface during the Doom Patrol episodes. But there was no mention of the monkey bite or the sakutia virus, his parents or that Steve and Rita adopted him. Cyborg also had no origin story, other than saying he had an accident and was now a "monster" in the episode "Titans Go!". Robin likewise only subtly alluded to working with Batman, though his origin has been told and retold so many times in movies and other TV shows that it's kind of redundant. Raven and Starfire had more complete backstories in the old show. Eventually we learned that Starfire is a Tamaranean princess and that she has a sister, though her parents are omitted as well as the why she was turned over to the Gordanians. Raven's back story seems to be the most complete. Both Arella and Trigon made appearances and we got to see Azarath (though it was unpopulated), her being the Gem was a slight innovation in the old show.
