BATMAN: Justice Unbalanced ∗ 8
JUSTICE UNDER SEIGE
A mysterious plot involving Two-Face and The Penguin turns explosive
when ticking eggs are delivered to Gotham's leading citizens. Who can
Commissioner Gordon turn to for help? Batman and Robin! Help the
Dynamic Duo decode the clues before Two-Face and The Penguin’s
threats to topple the pillars of justice become reality.
THE BATCAVE
Hidden beneath Wayne Manor, these naturally occurring limestone caverns have become Batman's headquarters. It is from these highly
equipped, multi-purpose caverns that the Dark Knight wages his war on
crime. Secretly housed deep under the earth, Batman and Robin keep
their Batmobile, Batcopter, and the Batcomputer ready. Return to the
Batcave at any time during the game by clicking on the Batmobile (see
Moving from Place to Place).
Entering Blocked Areas
Batman and Robin cannot gain access to certain
areas. They must collect and decode more of the
clues printed on the mysterious eggs before they
can enter these locked areas. To see an inventory
of the clues and to see which clues you need to
solve, check the Bat Mini-Computer located at the
bottom of the game screen.
Solving Clues
The Penguin and Two-Face are threatening Gotham. The only way for
Batman and Robin to save the city is to collect and decode all the clues
on the mysterious eggs (see Entering Locked Areas). Once an egg is collected, return to the Batcave (see Moving From Place to Place) and log
on to the Batcomputer to decode the clue (see The Batcomputer).
BATMAN: Justice Unbalanced ∗ 9
USING THE BAT MINI-COMPUTER
From most screens you can open the Bat Mini-Computer at the bottom
of the screen. Use this device to keep track of your progress in the game
and to customize your game experience.

trouble spots in Gotham. Click on the map to find your location, to find

This area is blocked. Batman
needs to collect and decode
more riddles to unlock it.
Clues
This screen stores any clues Batman has collected and shows which
ones remain to be collected. The clues also show if they have been
decoded. To collect clues, explore Gotham and play all the activities to
find more eggs. To decode the clues on the eggs, return to the Batcave
and go to the Batcomputer.

Getting Help
If you need help solving clues, click on any character. The Batcomputer
in the Batcave is a useful database of information, late-breaking news,
foe's bios, and a catalog of Batman's crime-fighting equipment. If you
can't locate a clue, compare the symbol next to the missing clue to the
symbols on the map (see Using the Bat Mini-Computer).
If you need help playing an activity, click the Help button on the MiniComputer (see Using the Bat Mini-Computer).
BATMAN: Justice Unbalanced ∗ 13
THE ACTIVITIES
As you explore Gotham, you will find clues that hint at Two-Face and
The Penguin's plans for destroying Gotham - and Batman. Your job is to
help Batman and Robin collect and decode these clues before time runs
out. Put all the codes together to solve the mystery before Gotham is
destroyed (see Decoding the Clues).
The Batcomputer
Batman has a lot of high-tech tools to battle his foes. The most powerful
tool in his arsenal is his Batcomputer. It is here that he compiles information on his enemies, decodes threats, finds clues, inventories his
equipment and gathers data from news sources.
Decoding the Clues
The mysterious eggs contain secret
messages — luckily Batman's computer can help you decode these.
The top of the screen shows the
main riddle and its current stage of
completion. This screen also shows
you the status of the other clues,
collected and not collected, solved
and unsolved. The highlighted letter in each solved clue will fill in a
letter for the main riddle!
Click on an unsolved clue to
decode it. On the decode screen
you can drag letters at the bottom
to solve the clue. Fill in all the letters and they'll change color to
indicate your success. Red letters
are incorrect, white are correct. The
key to the right of the screen helps
you track which cryptograms are
solved.
News Articles
Batman has a special program in the Batcomputer that automatically
pulls up pertinent news stories regarding current events in Gotham, as
well as the activities of his enemies. These are updated throughout the
game.
Foes
These are Batman's files on the secret identities of his enemies, including their strengths and weaknesses.
Gear
In an attempt to rid Gotham of crime, Batman has amassed an impressive arsenal of weapons and tools. From his famous Batmobile to his
packed Utility Belt, Batman has the right tool for most any situation.
BATMAN: Justice Unbalanced ∗ 14
Robot Umbrellas
Mysterious jeweled egg ornaments have been delivered to Gotham's
leading citizens. The Penguin's henchmen have shown up to steal them,
and when Batman and Robin arrive, these criminals set up an army of
robot umbrellas to protect their escape! Batman and Robin have one
advantage — they know how to crack open the eggs and defuse the
explosives inside. Batman and Robin must decipher how to disarm the
robot umbrellas’ live electric shields guarding the eggs before it is too
late.
Batman must disarm each umbrella shield by rotating the umbrellas and
forming a complete circuit of matching colors and patterns. When all the
touching sides match each other, click on a control umbrella surrounding
the egg, and the umbrella will short-circuit. Be careful — if just one side
doesn’t match, the robots’ reaction could be shocking! Destroy all four
of the control umbrellas and retrieve the egg.
BATMAN: Justice Unbalanced ∗ 15
Penguin’s Lair
Batman and Robin have snuck into The Penguin's offices, looking for
the jeweled eggs he has stolen. They must act quickly, and in the dark,
before they are discovered by The Penguin's henchmen. The stolen eggs
are locked in three different safes. Batman must find the combinations to
open each safe and collect the eggs.
Listen carefully to the henchmen talking in the next room. Their bragging about how they set up the alarm system is the key to turning it off.
By navigating through The Penguin's dark offices and following the
clues, the heroes can safely collect all three eggs without getting caught.
If a clue is missed, clicking on the air vent on the wall will repeat it.
Batman can exit the office at any time by clicking on the door.
BATMAN: Justice Unbalanced ∗ 16
Scaling The Statue
The statues of Peace, Freedom, and Justice are still under construction
and covered in scaffolding — a maze of steel beams, poles, chains, and
wood supports. These statues are blocked off until Batman decodes the
clues and realizes who is behind this latest round of terror. Then he must
scale the statues in search of the villain and more of his deadly eggs.
Use the keyboard to navigate Batman to the top of the scaffolding maze
to collect an egg. Batman will find some paths are incomplete, but many
gaps can be bridged by knocking folded scaffolding into position using
the Batarang. Batman can grapple up to the next level by standing under
a hook and using his grappling device. Watch out for Two-Face — if his
coin lands on the bad side, it's bad news for Batman.

Under Fire
Batman leaps into action as the Statue of Justice erupts in flames.
Commissioner Gordon, The Penguin, and Two-Face are somewhere
inside the blazing structure. Batman's only hope is to swing across the
hanging girders in the correct sequence to allow Batman to leap across
them.
Each girder has a set track it follows when hit by Batman's batarang.
When a girder is clicked on, it will swing to a different point on the
screen. Watch the girders' paths to find the sequence which will enable
Batman to leap from one girder to the next. Once Batman begins crossing the chasm he can’t stop — he must continue before the girder breaks
from the heat of the flames!
BATMAN: Justice Unbalanced ∗ 18
EDUCATIONAL FOCUS
Batman: Justice Unbalanced engages children in an exciting and challenging learning adventure. As they help Batman and Robin explore the
city of Gotham, players use problem-solving strategies to unravel the
mystery. As players complete the various thinking activities, they gather
more and more information. Decoded clues reveal new paths to pursue,
and players must use deductive reasoning to combine all of the pieces
and reveal the villain's master plan.
Five activities offer players interesting puzzles that involve a variety of
logical thinking challenges, including pattern recognition, pattern completion, decoding cryptograms, experimentation, organizing information,
and formulating and testing hypotheses. Players also have the opportunity to reinforce reading comprehension as they read clues, articles, and
informational files in the Batcomputer.
Each activity has three levels of difficulty. The auto-leveling feature
monitors individual progress and adjusts the level setting based on the
player's performance. This helps ensure that each player receives puzzle
sets that are appropriate for his or her skill level, while gradually
increasing the difficulty to introduce new challenges. In addition, the
leveling screen can be used at any time to manually adjust an activity's
difficulty setting.

RIVERDEEP SOFTWARE LICENSE
GRANT OF LICENSE. This License Agreement permits you to use one copy
of RIVERDEEP software (the "Software"), which may include electronic documentation, on a single computer/workstation. The Software is "in use" on a
computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory (i.e., RAM or Cache) or
installed into permanent memory (e.g., hard disk, CD-ROM drive, or other storage device) of that computer. This License does not constitute a sale and does
not authorize a sale of the Software or anything created thereby.
All intellectual property (including copyright, trademark and patent) in the
Software, including all animations, audio, images, maps, music, photographs,
video, and text incorporated into the Software, are owned by RIVERDEEP and
its affiliates, suppliers and licensors, and are protected by United States laws
and international treaty provisions. RIVERDEEP and its affiliates, suppliers
and licensors retain all rights not expressly granted herein. You must treat the
Software like any other copyrighted material, except that you may make one
copy of the Software solely for backup or archival purposes.
You may transfer your rights under this Agreement on a permanent basis provided you transfer the license granted by this Agreement, and the Software and
all associated printed materials, and you retain no copies, and the recipient
agrees to all of the terms of this Agreement.

You may not use the software on or over a network or any other transfer device
(including the Internet) except in a manner using the network and online functions included in the Software, if any. Use of the Software on more than one
computer constitutes copyright infringement and may be punishable by civil
fines, criminal penalties, or both.
You may not rent or lease the Software, but schools and libraries may lend the
Software to third parties provided the Software is in CD format and each end
user is given a copy of this License Agreement which will govern the use of
such Software.
You may not modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the
Software, except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by
applicable law.
You may not remove any proprietary notices or labels in the Software. You may
not copy the printed materials accompanying the Software or distribute printed
copies of any user documentation provided in electronic format.
You may not publicly perform or publicly display the Software. The restrictions
contained herein apply equally to hybrid CD-ROMs which may contain multiple versions of the Software for use on different operating systems. Regardless
of the type of media you receive, you may use only the portion appropriate for
your single-user computer/workstation. In the event you fail to comply with any
of the terms or conditions of this license, your rights to use the Software will
end, you shall stop using the Software, remove the Software from your computer, and permanently erase all copies of the Software.
You may not export or re-export the Software or any underlying information or
technology except in full compliance with all United States and other applicable
laws and regulations.

REMEDIES. Your exclusive remedy shall be, at RIVERDEEP's sole option, (a)
the refund of the amount you paid for the Software or (b) repair or replacement
of the Software, provided that the defective Software is returned to
RIVERDEEP (at Riverdeep, Dock Door #9, 120 Hidden Lake Circle, Duncan,
SC 29334. Telephone: 319 378-7319) along with proof of the date of purchase
within ninety (90) days from the date of purchase. This Limited Warranty is
void if failure of the Software has resulted from accident, abuse, neglect or misapplication. Any replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of
the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. Except as
set forth above, the Software is sold "as-is", without any express or implied
warranties of any kind.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES. IN NO EVENT WILL RIVERDEEP OR ITS
AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, ECONOMIC, COVER, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, USER DOCUMENTATION, OR RELATED TECHNICAL SUPPORT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT

PROFITS, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA, TIME OR COMPUTER PROGRAMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL RIVERDEEP'S AND ITS AFFILIATES', SUPPLIERS' AND LICENSORS' LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY
YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE
CLAIM (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CONTRACT, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR TORT CLAIM). BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS
DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR
CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITA TION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
