DC COMICS: Batman '66 (Batman s2 sp 23 & 24)

Batman '66 in the Media

MARSHA, QUEEN OF DIAMONDS:
Marsha, the Queen of Diamonds, is after the giant diamond that powers the Batcomputer. With her love darts, she puts both Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara under her spell (and into her custody). When the Dynamic Duo show up, they too are injected with her love potion, and Batman must agree to marry Marsha if he ever wants his friends to be returned.

MARSHA'S SCHEME OF DIAMONDS:
Hoping to obtain the Batcave's bat-diamond, Marsha searches for a new potion to use on the Caped Crusaders. Batman and Robin do some searching of their own and arrive at the criminal's hideout. But after Marsha douses them with her concoctions, the villainess seems to have a unique bargaining chip - two tiny caped toads - with which to gain Commissioner Gordon's help in locating the Batcave.

MONITOR'S NOTES:
A previous trivia entry referred to the mysterious bandage which covered Burt Ward's right forearm in the episode "Green Ice". In "Marsha, Queen of Diamonds", which aired two weeks later, there is further evidence of the injury; this time, Ward's forearm is wrapped in a beige elastic ("Ace") bandage. This bandage can be seen during the sword fight between Batman and a love-darted Robin. As the battle begins, Ward has one end of his cape draped over his arm to disguise the bandage; as he swings the sword above his head, the cape slips, revealing the bandage for an instant before West grabs Ward's wrist and the cape in a single motion, hiding the bandage again.
