(CBS) Movie-lovers got their first look at Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises" last weekend when the film's first teaser was shown before screenings of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2."

Now, that teaser has debuted online. (Watch it below.)

The clip starts off with a montage of scenes from "Batman Begins," then cuts to Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordan, lying in a hospital bed and talking to someone off-camera - you can't see who, but it's pretty clear that it's Batman (Christian Bale).

We also get our first look at Bane, the villain played by Tom Hardy (of "Inception" fame), and a brief shot of Batman braced for a fight.

The teaser's final title promises the film, out next summer, will be "The Epic Conclusion to the Dark Knight legend."

Tell us: What do you think of the teaser?
