Perhaps you’ve heard of a little film called The Dark Knight. It’s the sequel to Batman Begins and it’s opening this Friday in theaters. As a little treat to our VentureBeat readers we have 20 tickets to give away to a screening of the film the night before it opens, this Thursday, July 17.
The screening is being put on by three startups: Xoopit, Zivity and Powerset. Xoopit makes it easier to find things in your Gmail inbox by way of search. Zivity is an adult-oriented social network focusing on beauty. And Powerset is a semantic search tool. Powerset was recently acquired by Microsoft, a story which VentureBeat broke.
This screening will be at the Metreon theater in San Francisco, Calif, so you’re going to either have to be based here or have some way to get here. The tickets will be dispersed on a first-come first-serve base via the Eventbrite site we’ve set up. Please go here to see if there are any left: http://venturebeat-batman.eventbrite.com
There is a small $1 charge, mostly to ensure that you intend to go to the screening.
The movie will begin at 7pm 6:30pm and will be followed by an after-party at the DNA Lounge from 9:30pm until 2am. To get passes to this party simply email batmanevent@gmail.com.
This event isn’t just fun and games; all three companies are actively hiring qualified developers and hope to find some and partake in general networking. If you’re interested in finding out more and entering yourself for possible prizes at the after party, simply attach your resume or a link to your LinkedIn profile when you send the email to batmatevent@gmail.com. Developers are asked to specify if they have specific interest in learning more about Xoopit, Powerset or Zivity.
Just as in Batman’s world, costumes will be highly encouraged at the movie/after-party.

update: The show apparently starts at 6:30pm, not 7pm as we previously wrote.
