A gameplay prototype was even released to YouTube, showing some pretty dodgy in-development graphics, but some super cool ideas for a game. Superman "Blue Steel" looked set to feature some pretty cool features indeed, and many players are excited by the concept of a destructible Superman game. The cancelled Superman game, known as Blue Steel, would have featured environmental destruction and was slated to release on the PS3, to coincide with the Superman Returns films.
