After the first poster, Warner Bros. has finally unveiled the first official teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan‘s highly-anticipated blockbuster and end to his Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises. We get a better look at Tom Hardy as our main villain Bane, who looks to be overpowering Bruce Wayne with his pure strength. As Nolan has said before, he envisions this as very much the last chapter in his trilogy and it is clear he is attempting to tie all three films together with footage from each. Check it out below or in higher quality on the Facebook page.

Scripted by David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan, the film also stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Juno Temple, Josh Pence, Daniel Sunjata, Nestor Carbonell, Matthew Modine, Tom Conti, Joey King, Brett Cullen, Chris Ellis, and Josh Stewart.

The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th, 2012 in IMAX.
