Dayspring's Desires Summary: (optional -- I choose to put this in my review)
Review:After a run in with the Joker and his weapons of aphrodiciac filled rubber duckies, Clark ends up pregnant.So he does what any sane superhero would do, if they suddenly found themselves carrying Batman's child, he runs to Lex.
I really like Dayspring's take on Lex. He's not above saving the world or making evil plans to destroy Batman. He'll do anything for the people he cares about.
Clark on the other hand comes off as a bit wishy-washy and overly naive, though sympathetic.
The pregnancy itself is less believable than I would have preferred, since Dayspring skips a lot of the emotional and physical upheaval. The plus side this is that it keeps the story from becoming angsty and melodramatic.
The Plot is straightforward and uncomplicated. The writing is unpretentious and direct without losing Dayspring's uniquely dry and sarcastic humor. It's an easy and enjoyable read.
