There’s been a bit of a frenzy in the market for Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams connected to the 1977 classic "Smokey and the Bandit," though one could say it’s simply a reflection of the current mania in the world of collector cars. The mania certainly hasn’t hit its peak as we’ve just witnessed one of the original movie promo cars selling at auction for $550,000.

Why exactly Batman and Superman are even fighting is a mystery to everyone but comic book nerds. Of course, that didn't stop virtually the entire Internet from complaining about Ben Affleck being cast as the Caped Crusader.
