Speaking of Batman, the newest A-lister to don the superhero suit, write-actor-director Ben Affleck saw a good year too with annual earnings of $35 million.

Taken star Liam Neeson is at number six with $36 million in annual earnings.
With Taken 3 in the offing, things are only going to look up for this veteran.

Marvel's Iron Man is the undisputed king of rich actors, for the second year in a row, no less!
Downey Jr's $75 million paycheck for the last year is believed to be the same as the year before that, and it clearly remains uncontested by a massive margin.
