Get your capes and cowls ready, because the poster for The Dark Knight Rises has been unveiled.

The third installment in director Christopher Nolan’s rebooted Batman franchise will hit theaters next summer, but it has already been generating tons of buzz.

The poster is subtle and nondescript but features the prominent Batman logo, along with the imposing skyline of Gotham City.

Christian Bale will return as Batman, and the film will also feature Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman and Marion Cotillard.

The film’s predecessor, The Dark Knight, garnered a posthumous Golden Globe Award for Heath Ledger.
