If the film was already finished and cost $90 mil, how would a "tax incentive" cover those costs? I don't understand😔

Keaton's been around long enough to know how it works. He got paid. I'm sure he's beyond emotional attachment to a project like Batgirl. I think at this stage in his career it's largely about building up his pension pot.
