Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't watched many John Wayne movies (okay, I suspect, none), but I wonder if I'm missing out when I read this Kung Fu Monkey post:

Top 10 John Wayne Movies That Could Also Be Porn Titles

10.) Men Without Women (1930)
9.) Rough Romance (1930)
8.) Seven Men from Now (1956)
7.) Girls Demand Excitement (1931)
6.) Maker of Men (1931) or Two Fisted Law (1932) -- tie
5.) Ride Him, Cowboy (1932)
4.) His Private Secretary (1933)
3.) The Star Packer (1934)
2.) Pals of the Saddle (1938)

And the winner is:

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

John Wayne wasn't in Seven Men From Now. Randolph Scott was.

He has a producer credit for it (uncredited).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like the idea of an uncredited credit. Makes me think of Schrodinger's Cat.

I have an uncredited TV credit. Sure stung at the time.

Ann, that's a ferret.

5.) Ride Him, Cowboy (1932)

I've seen this one. And yes, the porny title was a factor in my decision.

It feels like the studio was trying to set up Wayne's character as the hero of a series. He bonds (no, not that way) with a horse and defeats the bad guys. Nothing special, but not bad. Fans of Westerns would enjoy.

There should be a Batman Western. Because a Bat-horse would be cool....

The Batman comics are almost like the internet. I know I've seen a cowboy Bats.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

Batman: The Brave and the Bold on Cartoon Network had a segment where he teamed up with Jonah Hex.

What if Woody Allen Had Directed Watchmen?

Also Judd Apatow, Quentin Tarantino, Sofia Coppola....

As Jackie Brown was a tribute to '70s blaxploitation, Kill Bill was a tribute to '70s kung fu, and Death Proof was a tribute to '70s grindhouse, so Quentin Tarantino makes Watchmen a tribute to the fourth in his canon of formative aesthetic influences: '70s Hanna-Barbera cartoons. In three half-hour episodes, the Watchmen—plus their new friends, Danny the Boy Detective and Mighty Mutt—discover that an extraterrestrial squid plans to explode in a beautiful national park. Working together, the Watchmen convince the squid that our nation's precious natural resources are too important to destroy.
