"BatLeth" meant nothing to me, and it's not clear the thing is a
very useful weapon.
Let me elaborate: The thing is big and clumsy, but doesn't even
have any reach to make up for that. It's probably a bit better
than a quarterstaff, though, since it does have sharp parts.
If you hold it right (and CAN hold it right, it takes practice!), you
can get a little reach out of it. I could hurt someone at 3' easily
enough IF I were in good practice with it. Which I'm not, and which is
very low on my priority list at the moment. (I think it's lower on my
list than firespinning, which is fairly low.)

Sure, 3 feet (90 cm) I believe. But how much does
it weigh? If I just had a normal 3 foot sword, I'd
be faster, and speed does matter...

Considering wearing a metal gauntlet, so I can grab
one (sharp) end, and increase the reach.
