The real name of “Bat Dad” is Blake Wilson and he’s aparentof 4 children.
“I’m just a normal dad with four kids and a wife having fun with them,” he told TODAY in 2013. “We live a very normal life.”
Back then, Wilson already had a pretty good idea why his videos were so popular. “It makes people smile because it’s so stupid,” Wilson said.
His videos contained the usual parenting shenanigans, spiced up with Wilson’s Batman impersonation. Most of them were shot in the family car while riding to school or at home, where they tried to sell vegetables to kids, make them go to bed on time, or remind them to brush their teeth. The videos were definitely goofy and relatable to anyone who has to juggle children, work, and home.
He told PBS News in 2014 that his real-life superpowers are scheduling and organization. But he emphasized that he couldn’t do it without the now co-parent Jen.“You know, to be honest, I can’t really say I have a great superpower — it really takes two,” Wilson said. “I think the superpower, if there is one, is being able to read your partner. Reading what they’re feeling. Being able to recognize the signals and knowing when your partner needs a little more help than normal. That’s huge when you’re raising a family.”

If he could offer a helpful tip to otherparents, it would be to embrace humor and a positive attitude. “Bottom line is, you gotta be able to laugh at the tough stuff. Yes, you’re gonna get stressed out, yes you’re gonna get upset, but sometimes you’ve got to have humor. You’ve got to be able to laugh at some of the most ridiculous moments your kids put you through.”
The “Bat Dad” actually posted a quick update on August 3 this year over on Facebook, where he explained a few of their life changes.The post reads, “I know we don’t make as many Batdad videos as we used to. Things change. Life is different. Twins are 14 now, and they were two when we started! Whenever I do post a video on any social network there are SO MANY COMMENTS about how old Ben is now, and how we were some peoples childhood and how much they enjoyed our videos. That means a lot to us, and I’m so happy we were able to make so many people laugh and feel good!”

“Sienna is doing well also. Loves hanging with her friends and doesn’t want to be all over the internet in videos of her dad being an idiot right now, so I respect that haha. Ben and I will make a Batdad video every once in a while, he still gets a kick out of it, but for the most part I’m just ‘Dad.’”
He also addressed the amicable divorce with Jen which happened about 6 years ago. “And no, it wasn’t because of Batdad as some people love to say. We work together better as friends and co-parent very well. She’s doing good! I get asked a lot so figured I’d just say it here. I’m in a relationship and have a wonderful girlfriend that I’ve been with for almost two years now, Cristina,” he revealed in the post.
Overall, Wilson says that life is good. Once in a while, he gets the creative itch to make a video and he and his son Ben would do one. But the older the kids get, the more emotional support they need so he chooses to focus his time more on being just dad, as opposed to “Bat Dad.”
Lastly, he is very thankful to everyone who still cares about their family and their videos. “Believe it or not, I’m a super introverted person who doesn’t like attention. I’ve never been one to share everything I do on social media. I just enjoyed creating these little snippets of this character and sharing them with people who enjoyed it. Don’t worry, I’ll still make them. Enjoy the photo dump, and thank you for sticking around,” he wrote, concluding the update.
