Michelle Pfeiffer Earned $3 Million for Batman Returns

Pfeiffer's $3 million salary for playing Catwoman was $2 million more than what was offered to Annette Bening.

Jennifer Garner Earned $3 Million for Elektra

Jennifer Garner had already played the title character in Daredevil prior and was rumoured to be earning around $3 million per movie at the time.

Wesley Snipes Earned an Estimated $10 Million for Blade II

It's difficult to confirm the exact sum Snipes was paid for the part alone in any of the three films but according to tax files released prior to the actor's conviction for tax offenses, his income was reported at over $10 million for Blade II in 2001 alone. Snipes served as both star and producer for the Blade trilogy, the last of which, Blade Trinity, was a flop at the box office.

Clooney was the third actor to play the role of Batman throughout the 1990s, replacing Val Kilmer, who was notoriously difficult to work with.

Many people still feel that the “Nipple Batsuit” was also a tad unnecessary.

Marlon Brando Earned $16 Million for Superman

Marlon Brando's involvement with Superman is the stuff of legend. Brando agreed to play Superman's dad for the sum of $3.7 million and essentially two weeks' work. He had his lines written on props, and had even suggested his role should be voiceover only, with Jor-El's physical state taking the form of a glowing green bagel. Having negotiated percentage points into his contract, Superman went on to become the highest-grossing film in Warner Bros history. Adjusted for inflation, Brando would have earned $55.5 million in today's dollars.
