[Batman] How could Kids and Civillians trust Batman at first, He's Terrifying....

Well for civilians, public reception is usually divided. You get the pearl clutchers, the fans, the apathetics, the assholes in hockey pads, etc. However, most people recognize that there wouldn’t be a light with his symbol on it if Gordon didn’t think there was something worthwhile about the guy, and it turns out Batman can be pretty nice when you meet him if you’re not a criminal. 

As for kids, Bats usually goes out of his way to be nice or try and help them out if needed. Plus, most don’t really care about the ethics of vigilantism as they do cheering on the guy with the cool car and costume who beats up the bad guys.
