History

Lorelei Circe is a chanteuse - able to sing seven octaves - who can use her voice to put anyone under her control. She first appeared where she collaborated with The Riddler in a plot to control all boxing matches. She mentioned to Riddler that she also has plans for Batman.

After Riddler was defeated, Siren went to Gotham City Police Headquarters and brainwashed Commissioner Gordon into sneaking into the Batmobile's trunk in order to find out Batman's identity. Siren later hypnotized Bruce Wayne into signing her fortune to her only for Robin and Batgirl to interfere.

Once Robin and Batgirl have defeated Siren, they demand that she release Bruce from the spell; the Siren says only a note still higher could do it, but she could lose her voice; Robin persuades her to do it, Siren sings it, but it's too high and Siren's voice is disabled. Siren and her henchmen ended up sent to prison.
