!["Dark Knight Rises" Trailer Hits the Web [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/00x2upfZpqFRf7f2qRX9kWa/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647020092.jpg)
Warner Bros. has posted the first teaser trailer for the third installment of The Dark Knight Rises, the third film in the rebooted Batman film franchise, on Facebook.
The trailer, which first graced screens this weekend before showings of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, is mostly a 90-second compilation of scenes from the previous two films -- but it does contain a few scenes from the new one. A scene showing Batman (Christian Bale) preparing to fight Bane (Tom Hardy), one of the caped crusader's greatest adversaries, should get fans excited.
Warner Bros. decided not to host the video on its servers, but instead posted it to its Facebook Page. Presumably the studio is trying to amass more Facebook fans to help promote the film.
The movie hits theaters in summer 2012 and also features Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. Morgan Freeman reprises his role as Lucius Fox, and Michael Caine returns as Alfred, Bruce Wayne's trusted butler and adviser.
