The big box office hit must be a relief to Warner Brothers because the films production budget ballooned from an announced $131 million in 2014, to a rumored total of more than $250 million when the film finally wrapped up.

Other movies that hot theaters this weekend might of had it rough cause the two most iconic superheros of all time were set to fight each other on the big screen.
