According to Comics Continuum "Warner Bros. has released several images from Batman Begins, including several of Christian Bale in costume.
Bale recently told the BBC that he was confident in the direction the movie takes the character.
"I just looked at what hadn't been done with the character and saw that everybody agreed that that was the direction they wanted to take in it," Bale said.
"I had to audition for this movie and I decided that I didn't want to do it if they didn't want to do it in the way I felt it should be done."

New Batman Pic & Interviews!
"Batman's the most interesting character in the film."
Today on IGN FilmForce you can check out our interview
with Gary Oldman on the set of Batman Begins. Oldman discusses portraying
Lt. James Gordon and working with Chris Nolan. Here's a look at more Bat-news
from around the Web...
Film Review Special #55 features a slew of new interviews with the cast and filmmakers of Batman Begins, including a highly spoilerish chat with Cillian "The Scarecrow" Murphy. An excerpt of Film Review's interview with star Christian Bale can be found at the link above.
"Reading the comics, I've always felt that Batman was a very interesting character – at least as interesting as the villains – and I think this film gets back to that. This is an origin story, not a sequel, and the theme of the story is one of realism," Bale advised Film Review. "We know that Batman doesn't have superhuman powers, but you'll see it in this film, and we find out how the Bat Cave works, where Batman gets his weapons and how the Batmobile really works. The biggest thing is that Batman's the most interesting character in the film. Preparing for the film, I started reading all of the comics, and my favourite books were Year One and The Long Halloween. The villains in those stories were fascinating, but Batman was much more fascinating."
Finally, Freeze Dried Movies came across a new image of Batman (Bale) in action from the latest issue of Premiere Magazine. The photo can be seen to your right. Click on the image for a larger version.
Batman Begins opens June 17th.
