The article you linked to doesn't take product placement into consideration. In addition to that, it is using some old numbers for Man of Steel. Those numbers are from BO and home video sales only. No product placement, no broadcast syndication, etc.

Even The Amazing Spider-Man 2 which cost $430M and made $709M at the BO made a profit of $70M without product placement.

I'm thinking that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 must have been way over budget its visual effects where less then impressive for a movie that had a production bugdet of $255 million dollars.  Plus Hans Zimmers score was also wasn't that good not even close to some of his best work all the other Spider Man movies had better scores as a matter of fact the score by Danny Elfman for the first Spider-Man movie (2002) is one of the best super hero movie scores of all time.

Putting things in perspective once again:

“Batman v Superman,” one of the most expensive films ever made, is on pace to produce a $278 million profit for Warner Bros. once home video, TV and merchandise proceeds are tallied, according to SNL Kagan analyst Wade Holden. That’s less than the estimated $300 million the studio earned from “Man Of Steel.”
To be as profitable as the lower-budget “Man of Steel” -- and some of the more successful Marvel films, which generate 44 percent net profit on average -- “Batman v Superman” would have to gross $1.15 billion worldwide, Holden estimates. “Age of Ultron” earned $853 million, he estimates.
