It may have been before the new contracts, but Wein definitely gets royalties for Swamp Thing.  When talking about the Swamp Thing TV DVD set, he said:

Huh, they clearly must have grandfathered Wein in also.  I wonder if DC grandfathered in all the 70's characters/creators, or did Wein just negotiate himself a special deal? 

Wein talks about not wanting to bother signing the creator contract for Lucius Fox ("It's a middle-aged guy in a suit!") and being talked into it by Paul Levitz. Now he makes very good money from the Batman movies because of it.

Apparently, Levtiz insisted that anybody who created any character sign a creator contract.
