Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on October 28, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Michael Dougherty! May your day be filled with more excitement than Superman's return flight and fewer plot twists than Wolverine’s mood swings. Your knack for crafting thrilling superhero sagas like "Superman Returns" and "X2" has given us countless memorable moments—proving that not all heroes wear capes; some wield keyboards.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater adventures, epic storylines, and perhaps fewer rewrites. Keep inspiring us with your superhuman storytelling powers—and remember: birthdays are just sequels to the original blockbuster called life. Cheers to another timeless chapter in your legendary screenplay of existence!
