Umm its simple.
RDJR got paid less for doing Iron Man than Terrance Howard. So he got him replaced and then got paid way more for the remainder of his contract.
Henry Cavill should've done the same thing. Threaten not to come back after MoS when I'm sure Adams and Shannon (probably Crowe too) got paid more. Now its revealed he was still on a lowball contract. So this continued when he did BvS and JL.
Not good movies but pretty crazy he isn't the 2nd highest paid person behind Affleck for those movies.
Now MoS didn't successfully launch a universe but the studio was still behind the vision then to okay BvS.
I mean DC always had the leg up when doing these things, especially that go around (having their main characters.. plus various playbooks to look at)
if anything they should have looked at MCU in the later years when they locked in certain guys to 5-7 film deals
now I’m not sure what dude’s contract looked like.. but rdj and marvel were in a different situation when that first film came around
But to me, cavill and dc we’re trying establish their footing with things.. I could see Ryan Reynolds pulled a strong arm move after the 1st film, after getting d***ed around
