The official newsletter has released three photos of supporting characters in Warner Bros. upcoming reinvention of the "Batman" franchise - "Batman Begins", scheduled for release next June.

In these shots there's a photo first released at Comic Con of Cillian Murphy as Dr. Jonathan Crane (aka. 'The Scarecrow'), a narcotics manufacturer who's developed a special fear toxin.

There's also Katie Holmes as Bruce's childhood friend Rachel Dawes who has now become an assistant district attorney; and Rutger Hauer as Wayne Enterprises CEO Richard Earle who has been caretaking the company whilst Bruce was abroad, but is quietly manuevering to snatch it out from under him.

Simply click on any of the photos for larger versions:
