Similarly, information about his education and childhood life still remains hard to come by as he has not given us any insight into that aspect of his life, perhaps in due time, all these might be revealed.

Though a lot still remains unknown about his background and early life, a look at how Blake Wilson got famous as Bat Dad reveals just how interesting a personality he is. It all started with a $10 dollar purchase of a Batman mask he bought while he was shopping for toys for his kid during a family trip. As he got into their car, Blake wore the mask and began filming himself playing with his kids. At this instant, he named his character Bat Dad and this later became his online name.
