This influencer is fighting back at bad walkers by secretly filming them — and New Yorkers are thrilled with his sidewalk rage

Hey, he’s walking here!
For the past few months, Matt Bass has acted as Gotham’s very own Batman for a very specific, but sizeable subset of New Yorkers: the easily irritated pedestrian.
His version of the Batsuit, though, is a simple black T-shirt, shorts, sunglasses and a backwards baseball cap — a suitably surreptitious disguise for filming a series of clandestine TikToks he’s dubbed “Bad Walkers.”
“This is just my walking experience,” he explained to The Post about the “quirky characters” he spots on his travels. “These are the people who inconvenience me.”
Typically, he films his videos with his iPhone and a trusty pair of Apple wired earbuds, which act as a microphone, though he says it’s a pretty conspicuous setup — if bad walkers look back, they’ll notice him taking a video.
“It’s like I have a dash cam on my head,” said Bass, 30.
