Is there any possibility to manually define an image for flattered things?
Or are there plans by the devs to implement this?

Specify the image using Open Graph metadata in the page that is submitted, like you do for eg. Facebook: http://ogp.me/
If you're using WordPress or such there's likely a plugin that you could use.
I just checked the API and there seems to be no way of defining the image upfront. Not with an auto-submit URL and not with the create-thing request.
Only thing I could find is once you created a thing, you can edit it using this URL:
https://flattr.com/thing/edit/<thing-id>
The form has a text field that is labeled Change image by providing an url. (will take some time to update). Enter a URL to an image.
I tried it and it took about 30 secs to update.
