Warner Bros. has released the first teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan's final Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. The teaser, which preceded screenings of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 this weekend, is thin on footage from the upcoming film but does offer a few glimpses of Tom Hardy as the film's main villain, Bane.
The trailer also confirms that The Dark Knight Rises will in fact be the final film in Christopher Nolan's run with the character. The film will bring back Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman. Newcomers include Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Joseph Gordon Levitt as Gotham PD cop John Blake and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises board member.
Head over to Warner Bros.' Facebook Page to take a look at the trailer. The Dark Knight Rises opens on July 20th, 2012.
