Why is my Blackberry Cobbler Runny?

The main reason that your blackberry cobbler came out runny is that you didn't pat the blackberries dry.

Before using the blackberries, wash them thoroughly and pat them dry using a kitchen towel. Wet blackberries mean moisture in the cobbler, which as a result, will turn your cobbler runny.

Furthermore, another reason can be the fact that the batter had a thin consistency. If you follow the measurements accurately, you won't have any problem with the batter's consistency.
