A young girl living with her mother in Gotham City, Carly is the niece of Doctor Kirk Langstrom, an audiometrist employed at Wayne Industries.
Attempting to conceal his ongoing project - the creation of a formula that would alter the user's physical appearance and transform them into a giant man-bat hybrid - and maintain Wayne’s funding for his experiments, Langstrom lied about Carly’s health, telling the CEO that she had lost her hearing from measles when she was three years old and that his research was designed to help restore her aural faculties.
Successfully appealing to Wayne's compassionate nature, Kirk's lie bought him a few extra days, though he knew he had to up the timeline to prevent further hitches, which it inevitably did.
Wanting to support an employee who he thought was in need, Wayne bought Carly a high-tech hearing aid, only to be rebuffed when she was unnerved by his efforts to communicate through lip reading and sign language.
Realising he had been deceived, Wayne returned to confront Langstrom about his lies and the true nature of his research, only to witness what Kirk declared to be the “birth of Man-Bat.”
