SUPERMAN


It's no surprise that comic book adaptations are pricey to produce - what is so easy to draw on a piece of paper becomes significantly more difficult to make a real actor do. The second Superman film on this list received mixed critical reviews on release, with some objecting to a portrayal of the Man of Steel as a flawed champion with feet of clay. Casting of newcomer Brandon Roth was also a tough call. But what really made this movie so firkin expensive was the inhumanly long preproduction - it took nearly fifteen years for the movie to get made, with Kevin Smith writing an early script, producer Jon Peters insisting that he put a giant spider and a "gay R2-D2 with attitude" in it, and Tim Burton having a cup of coffee with Super. But it finally got made and "pay or play" contracts drove the movie up to a $209 million cost.
