What brigde? I don't see a single bridge here. Only an ethernet device, wlan 
device and a batman device that contains both. The bat0 device has an ip... so 
I would doubt that you added it to a bridge.

I would guess that you wanted to do something like this (I just assume that 
br0 is already created through hostapd and includes wlan0... you have to 
ensure that this is done):

sudo modprobe batman-adv
sudo batctl if add eth0
sudo batctl if add wlan1
sudo ip addr flush dev eth0
sudo ip addr flush dev wlan1
sudo ip link set dev eth0 mtu 1528
sudo ip link set dev wlan1 mtu 1528
sudo brctl addif br0 bat0
sudo ip link set dev bat0 up
sudo ip addr add 10.50.0.x/24 dev br0
sudo ip link set dev br0 up

Kind regards,
