taken from yahoo movies/greg's previews and Darkhorizons.com:
(2/12/04) According to a recent rumor at Dark Horizons, Laurence Fishburne may be in talks for the recurring supporting character of Lucius Fox for the next three movies. In the comics, Lucius Fox is the man who actually runs Wayne Enterprises for Bruce so he can concentrate on fighting crime. The bigger news, however, is that Liam Neeson has officially signed on to play one of the film's villains, which appears likely to be Ra's Al Ghul himself.

new update from upcomingmovies.com:
Instead of Laurence Fishburne, the role of Lucius Fox has gone to Morgan Freeman, who was once rumored to be in talks for some sort of doctor or scientist role (which Lucius Fox isn't).

more interesting batman news at darkhorizons.com
The Bat news just keeps on coming it seems from avenues all over with several new revelations over the weekend.
The most notables came from Batman on Film who indicate that Oscar nominee and "Last Samurai" actor Ken Watanabe has won the role of lead villain Ra's Al-Ghul in the Chris Nolan film. An announcement about his casting is expected to hit the trades shortly. The site also indicates that the role of Harvey Dent does appear in the script and will be played by an actor whose previously worked with Nolan before - both Guy Pearce and Al Pacino have previously been rumoured for the part.
There's also a pretty cool description of the Batsuit: "It is made of silicone and a material similar to the "Spider-Man" costume. It has a armored look to it around the chest area. There is no yellow oval--the Bat symbol is like it is in the current comics. It may be part of the chest armor. The suit is dark, but not totally black. From the description that I got, it's dark gray. The cape, cowl, boots, and gloves are black. I've heard two descriptions for the ears. One report said that they are shorter than they were in the previous films. Someone else told me that they are "Kane-style;" based on the orginal look of Batman back from 1939. I've also heard two reports on the eyes. I've heard it had lenses, and I've heard it didn't. I'm sure that costuming experienced with both. The utility belt will have pockets, but with a sleek look to it (nothing like what Adam West wore)".
The title is also tipped to be announced this week with "Batman Begins" looking certain to be the new title.
Finally its been confirmed that whilst shooting will take place at Shepparton Studios, the nearby giant Cardington Hangar facility once used for the construction of airships, is also being used. They're currently building set(s) in it with shooting inside of it aiming to begin in April.

from darkhorizons.com:
A while back we heard a possible description of the new look Batsuit for Christian Bale to don in "Batman Begins", a report that sounded very different to what we have come to expect. Now, UK spy 'Crazy Guy' challenges that report with gossip of his own and a description that sounds more like the suits of old:
"The Batsuit is currently being made at a secret location in Hampshire and will be delivered to Shepperton late April. The other description online was probably the dummy cowl with the same surface material which is being used for camera testing only, this one may be in the Bob Kane 1930s design as a joke. The genuine suit appears to be in seperate sections at the costume designer's Hampshire workshop, although the only parts missing were the utility belt and boots which weren't visible when I took a peek.
The body and sections are dark grey and rippled somewhat to look like real skin, imagine how they portrayed Spawn and you get the right idea. The Batsymbol is across the chest armour and not in a yellow oval. The cowl and cape are black or dark blue, the cowl looks like the skin material too and is thinner and has realistic human features like cheekbones and forehead.
The ears are fairly long like in the previous movies and the design of the eyes and jaw cutaways are similar. Overall the suit doesnt look as exaggeratedly muscular as it was before and the rubber like material is thinner. I would be worried if this was made for any of the previous actors but Christian Bale is carrying a bit of bulk and beef and this suit would have been made specifically for his larger frame".

more bat-news from darkhorizons.com:
"Batman" talk continues and more today about the suit and the US press reaction comes in from the London spy who reported details the other week:
"I have two reports this time, first is that the first Batsuit stock arrived at Shepperton Studios from Lindy Hemming's Hampshire studio yesterday. Four big security dudes unloaded a large crate from the truck and quickly disappeared into the Batman Wardrobe dept (still signposted 'Intimidation Game' btw).
A worker in the know this afternoon told me that the suit looks unusual but it's very confusing because they have the hero and stunt versions and the pieces were covered in plastic and labels, they haven't been assembled yet. The inner bodysuit is definitely dark grey but leather and used looking, not shiny like in the last movies but a material that looks like a second skin.
The chest area features a large black bat emblem that doesn't look like the one from the movies or the comics but looks very cool, he said everyone cheered when the packing materials were removed from the crate and the emblem was the first thing they saw at the top and obviously packed that way deliberately by Lindy.
All the other pieces are dark grey/granite but so dark its almost black. The cowl looks small and may stretch to fit the wearer, complete with longish ears. It looks like there is a an extra piece that covers the chin area but couldn't confirm as it was being held in a costume person's hand when he saw it. Unfortunalty he couldn't see the cape or belt clearly.
Overall he said they are going for the Spiderman/Daredevil look where Batman looks like a more agile human being rather than a guy in a bulky muscle suit. He said that the stunt suit is being fitted to one of Bale's doubles this afternoon and they will be 'testing it', how they are going to test it is anyones guess. Another five hero suits and ten stunt suits will arrive next week.
Also, news has filtered to Shepperton that the American press are expres

woops
Also, news has filtered to Shepperton that the American press are expressing concern over the cast. Not about the quality, which is undoubtedly high, but that there's no American actors (they seem to forget about Holmes and Freeman). I am told that each of the cast did attend a casting like everyone else, even Liam Neeson and Christian Bale.
The director and the casting director have seen many American actors, both famous and unknowns, even requesting that American agents send more to the castings. In each case its the British actor which has demonstrated to fit the part. It's also bullsh*t that Nolan wanted Bale to use his real Middle England accent".

As he describes it, this batmobile is for men who really appreciate cars. Weighing in at 2.5 tonnes, the car has a 5.7 litre 350 Chevy engine and can do "0-60 in less than 6 seconds". After making sure that cameras and sound weren't rolling on the set, Andy actually started the engine of the car. Loud doesn't even begin to describe the noise from this beast. Whilst shooting exteriors in America, Andy said they really got to "try her out" and there is simply no contest between this and previous models.
swizz!
