Well, not exactly, but The Prestige is pretty damn close, seeing as it casts Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman as rival magicians embroiled in an escalating magic war. Michael Cain, who played Alfred to Bale's Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins, co-stars, playing the older helpmate of Jackman's character (Traitor!). Who's the director responsible for casting so many actors from comic book films? Why, it's none other than Batman Begins director Christian Bale.
The Prestige is based on a novel by the same name, which is written by a Chistopher Priest. But don't get too excited; that's one comic book connection the movie doesn't have. This Christopher Priest isn't the same one who's respsonsible for respectable runs on Black Panther, Steel, The Ray and Justice League Task Force.
