The superhero removed his mask for Carson Daly in the Orange Room, revealing his true identity as Blake Wilson.

"I'm just a normal dad with four kids and a wife having fun with them," he told TODAY. "We live a very normal life."

The videos have become a huge hit online, racking up millions of views. Wilson thinks he knows why they're so popular: "It makes people smile because it's so stupid," Wilson said in his BatDad voice.

His wife Jen has become a central character, often getting startled while performing every day activities. "I feel bad for her," Wilson said. "I know that I can be annoying."

So how does BatWife feel about Wilson's alter-ego? Watch the TODAY video to find out.

Earlier, the TODAY's Take hosts applauded Wilson's creativity . "You are a genius," Al Roker said on Tuesday. "I wish I had thought of that." Willie Geist agreed. "Well done, sir."

BatDad even recorded a special Vine for TODAY as NBC News photojournalist Dwaine Scott taped the interview.
