The first official teaser for what will be 2012's most anticipated movie has hit the net, and it looks like all hell has broken loose in Gotham City.
In the video we see a hospitalized Commissioner Gordon, imploring Batman to come back to save a city that has been overtaken by evil.
"We were in this together, and then you were gone," says Gordon, played by Gary Oldman. "And now this evil rises. The Batman has to come back."
The trailer implies that Batman will have to come back stronger than ever to combat his nemesis Bane, played by Tom Hardy.
It's an all too brief clip, but it's enough to get fans excited.

By now everyone knows that the U.S.A. women's soccer team lost a heartbreaking match in the World Cup to Japan. Now comes questions about how it happened, and where the loss ranks among the biggest choke jobs of all time.
ESPN compared the loss to the Miami Heat's meltdown against the Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 NBA Finals.
The Heat were expected to roll over the Mavericks with their big three Lebron James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade. Instead they got thrashed 4 games to 2. And the women's soccer team had leads of 1-0 and 2-1 before Japan twice stormed back to tie the match, eventually winning on penalty kicks.
Who do you think were the bigger choke artists? The Miami Heat or Team U.S.A. women's soccer?

DMX can count on at least one friend ready to lend support when he's released from an Arizona jail.
In a recent interview Swizz Beatz said that he will always be in Dark Man X's corner.
"I'll always work with DMX; that's my brother no matter what," Swizz told AllHipHop. "I don't wanna use people's personal problems to judge our relationship. Everybody's got personal problems one way or another. That's never gonna stop me from working with him and supporting him. If it wasn't for him people probably wouldn't know me."

Foxy Brown has a lot to be thankful for these days. She's regained her hearing after a brief scare in 2005, slimmed down a bit and a judge just threw the case against her for violating a protective custody order by mooning a neighbor out of court.
"The prosecutors just wanted my head," she told the NY Post. Feeling like she's being persecuted because of her skin color Brown added: "If Lindsay Lohan was black, she would have done two years, at least. Is there no equal standard?"
Still, things are looking up for the 31-year old rapper, born Inga Marchand. She is writing a memoir about fame titled "A Gift and a Curse" and plans on becoming a spokeswoman for National Deaf Association.
"I lost one of my senses, and that's the hardest thing I went through," she says. "It's a miracle I got it back. I can hear running water again. I can hear my mother say, 'I love you.' I'm on an assignment from God."
She also reportedly has a $2 million dollar offer on the table from Hugh Hefner to pose on the cover of Playboy.
Brown credits still being in demand after fifteen years in the game to keeping her brand fresh.
"I live a different life," she said. "I'm not at every party; I'm not seen everywhere. That's why people still care about my brand. I've never whored myself out."

After spending nearly 3 years behind bars and enduring an emotional trial, Casey Anthony could hit the jackpot by turning her infamy into fortune.
Anthony was released from jail early this morning.
She has already been offered a million dollars from an independent producer to tell her story and that's just the first offer.
"Between a combination of a book, maybe some sort of magazine articles, tv interviews and other ways of telling this monstrous story that she has, she'll probably be able to wrestle out of this about a million dollars," public relations expert Davidson Goldin said on "Good Morning America."
This wouldn't be the first time notoriety transcends into wealth.
After O.J. Simpson's 1997 acquittal for murder, he was given a $1 million publishing advance for his book "If I Did It," a first-person account of how the former football star could have carried out the slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
Amy Fisher served 6 years in prison for the attempted murder of her lover's wife.
Since her parole in 1999, she sold more than 32,000 copies of her book: "If I Knew Then."
She made a career in the adult film industry and her struggles with alcoholism landed her a spot on VH1's reality series "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew."
After the Menendez brothers were sentenced to life in prison in 1996, for killing their parents, Erik Menendez's wife Tammi Menendez wrote a self published book, "They Said We'd Never Make It - My Life With Erik Menendez."
Some say the likelihood of Casey Anthony cashing in is high but others are not so sure.
"Some people may not want to touch her because they think she has a little girls blood on her hands," said legal expert Susan Filan.

As we previously reported, Beyonce fired her father and long time manager Mathew Knowles in March after an audit she had conducted showed he was stealing money from her.
Knowles denied the allegations and blamed Live Nation for causing the rift between himself and his daughter.
Now according the Associated Press Knowles filed legal papers in Texas that not only name Live Nation, but also Jay-Z's Roc Nation and Columbia Records. Knowles claims they have all said "negative comments about me."
"We absolutely have not taken any money from Beyonce, and all dollars will be accounted for," Knowles told The Associated Press. "In no way have we stole money. Again, this about the people who have made these claims — they have to come into the light," he said. "The team ironically appeared to be a cross-pollination of Beyonce's team, Roc Nation's team, and Live Nation's team, who ironically have the most to gain."
Knowles insists his personal relationship with Beyonce is fine. But he feels like there are people around her that are giving her bad information.
"The relationship with Beyonce is extremely amicable. I want to make that clear. Where there's concern is the people that she's doing business with," he said. "I'm challenging all of these folks on integrity, professional integrity."
