Yes, inflating both box office and budgets ensures a fair cross-era comparison of profitability. Adjusted to 2025 dollars, the multiples (box/budget) are:

Batman Begins: 2.5x ($617M / $247M)

Iron Man: 4.2x ($873M / $209M)

X-Men: First Class: 2.2x ($511M / $232M)

Man of Steel: 3.0x ($897M / $302M)

Iron Man's efficiency shines.
