I’m sorry but comic books have never been as good as they were when Howard Chaykin was making American Flagg.

Canceled Batman/Indiana Jones Crossover is DC’s Biggest Missed Opportunity

Brash, innovative and often controversial, Howard Chaykin has had a 40-year career in comics, with works like American Flagg and his revamps of The Shadow and Blackhawk solidifying his legacy in the industry. It’s easy to see why Chaykin would have been the first choice for a Batman/Indiana Jones team-up. Chaykin has a long history with Batman, first drawing the character in a 1974 issue of Detective Comics and producing a number of classic stories in the decades since. Chaykin also briefly worked on Indiana Jones, drawing the sixth issue of Marvel’s The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones in the 1990s and providing a number of covers for the series thereafter.

In a 2012 interview with the Indycast, Chaykin dropped the bombshell that he had been hired to write and draw an Indiana Jones/Batman crossover sometime around 2009-2010. “It was gonna be a four-issue series,” Chaykin explains, before elaborating that the story would have taken place in 1939 and concerned Indy investigating “reports of a mysterious bat-winged, man-sized figure haunting Gotham City.” Chaykin goes on to spell out the rest of the overall plot, which sounds like a typical comic book team-up: “The first issue would be Indiana tracking down this mysterious bat-creature, you know, and ultimately teaming up with him in a plot of some sort.” The writer/artist was gung-ho on the project, describing it as a “natural, great crossover, one of those synergistic, perfect combinations of characters.”

In many ways, Chaykin is the perfect creator to tackle a Batman/Indiana Jones team-up. As a writer, his expertise in the pulp adventures and old movie serials that inspired Indiana Jones in the first place is second-to-none, and as an artist, he excels at capturing the fashion and overall design of the time period. Further details like the 1939 setting are enticing, as Batman made his debut in our world in May of that year with the release of Detective Comics #27. There’s always an element of Batman that works best in that milieu, and pairing the Dark Knight with Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. in that setting would have made for a fun series. Seeing Indy interact with Batman’s rogues' gallery alone invites a host of interesting scenarios: Indy runs across a certain cat burglar stealing an artifact from a Gotham museum, or perhaps he stumbles upon one of Ra’s al Ghul’s Lazarus Pits in his travels. The possibilities are endless.

So why didn’t the crossover happen? Not even Chaykin knows for sure, saying, “It collapsed for a number of reasons, none of which I completely understand.” Given all the parties involved, it’s not surprising that a crossover of this magnitude would wind up sinking under the weight of its own expectations. And because Lucasfilm was later sold to Disney, it seems even more unlikely now that Batman and Indiana Jones will cross paths at any time in the near future, but fans can always dream.

Comics Read 06/4- 10/2023

Over this period of time I read Vagrant Queen a Planet Called Doom by Magdalene Visaggio, art by Jason Smith, colors by Harry Saxon, and letters by Zack Saam & Andworld Design. Came out at the same time as the short lived television series. I can’t say that the tv series was firing on all cylinders, but I can say that I wish it was renewed. It was fun, kooky and I really want there to be non- Star Wars and Star Trek space opera shows on television.

But as for the comic, I enjoyed it. There was something of time jump between the first volume and this so it didn’t really matter that it’s been years since I read it and I barely remember it. If the first volume (and the television show) could at sometime feel pro-monarchy by being so revolution-skeptical, this is the antidote. I’d plot is kickstarted by someone kidnapping the title Vagrant Queen, Elida, trying to reinstate her for their own purposes. The cult that the kidnapper leads to empower a new monarchy is funny sad. I won’t reveal who the

In my post about the first volume I said something about the art reminding me of Howard Chaykin’s American Flagg! I would not say that bout this volume. The panels are exciting, but  bigger and no where near as busy as it would take for me to make that comparison. Also it has a pretty warm color pallet, even in the cold of space. There is a wild cliffhanger and I hope that it is revisited sometime soon.
