Nancy's Notions has some. Look in the backing section and then click through the pages. When you read the descriptions of each fabric you will find some batiks and they are not priced all that bad either! Hope you find what you are looking for.

There is one true batik at Fabric Depot (the URL button isn't working) but it's expensive. They also have a variety of colors in a Wilmington batik-inspired print, which is less expensive. From the swatch pictured, I thought it was a batik. I wait for their sales to order from them.
Desperate Quilters usually has some, but no batiks right now in their wide backs.
One of my favorite online shops, Over The Rainbow, has seven different wide batik backs. Here is the link to their store: http://www.overrainbow.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi -- type wide back batik in the search box and they should come up for you .
There are some beautiful choices on the site that joobee posted--make sure to note the price of $9.99 per HALF yard. The Over The Rainbow prices are $9.99 per yard--a few of the prints she only has 1 1/4 yards of and one has only 3/4 yards, but the other four have more . She keeps the inventory accurate on her site and removes the item once it is sold out--have bought fabric from her for close to seven years.
