10 Actors Who Got Paid To Do Pretty Much Nothing

Batman Returns went through so many revisions, it bared little resemblance to the finished product. At one point, the story would've centred around the Penguin finding a treasure map under Bruce Wayne's house. In another script, the Penguin would've discovered Christopher Walken's character, Max Schreck, was his long-lost brother.

And in the latest script, Batman would've teamed up with Robin, played by Marlon Wayans. However, this wasn't some idea that was thrown out early in the production. This was such a last-minute change, Robin's costume was completed, sets for his scenes had been constructed, and action figures for Batman's sidekick were ready to go.

Ultimately, it was decided that Batman Returns was overstuffed with characters, resulting in Robin's appearance being delayed until Batman Forever, where Chris O' Donnell was recast in the role.

But since Wayans had signed a contract for a two-movie deal, he was still paid $100,000. Not only that, Wayans is STILL being paid now. For nearly 30 years, the Scary Movie star has received residual checks for both movies, even though he doesn't appear in either of them!
