But this month they agreed to pay Arnold Schwarzenegger $25 million to appear as Mr. Freeze, the villain in the next Batman installment. Some executives are complaining that Warner is compounding the cost problem. Daly says the deal makes sense because Schwarzenegger's presence will boost the film's grosses, particularly overseas. Arnold is also taking "a lot less" of the film's gross profits than usual--he generally gets up to 20%--as well as a reduced share in profits...
