I'm including the recently announced Batman and Catwoman Maxi Series as part of his Batman run, because it seems to conclude key elements of King's main narrative.

Suicide Squad
Legion of Superheroes. I know people might be mad at him after his Batman run and HiC, but he’s a good writer. His Vision and Mr. Miracle speak to that. I think the Legion is probably something that plays more to his strengths as a writer than Batman does.
I’m guessing he’ll get a turn on Flash, Superman, or JL at some point. We know he’s already got another Vision/MM style 12 issue miniseries coming up with Gerads.

Is he good at teams though? There are a lot of great writers who struggle with team books, and LoSH is one of the largest and most difficult to start with. I don’t think King has ever done a team book before.
I could see him do really well with a Brave and The Bold miniseries.
Edit forget this, i didn't read the first post well
The Question
Green Arrow
Dr. Midnight
Sandman (Wesley Dodds)
Titans

Tom King was born to write a continuation of the 5 Years Later Continuity of the Legion of Superheroes. Whatever you think of King's writing, and I'll admit he's written some $#@! in his time, but every single trope he revels in makes him the perfect candidate for that book. However, I don't really want him to write an ongoing, he hasn't quite proven himself to be that capable a writer beyond the 12 issue maxi series*.
*No. Grayson does not count, as it was cowritten with Tim Seeley.
Something COMPLETELY out of regular DCU continuity preferably.
the adventures of Gotham Girl? :p

Indeed.
Let him plumb the depths of the DC lore to find that strange and overlooked character which he can use to create a maxi-series the like of [I]Vision[/I] and [I]Mister Miracle[/I].
But no more ongoing for him please - only big name characters have them now and none would be a fit for King, he would just tear it down, and none has the cushion that Batman has.
He seems to like Hal, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he find himself on Green Lantern. After Morrison is done of course.
I'd like him to reconstruct a few characters he's left deconstructed. So Dick Grayson and Wally West. Titans or solos. No preference.
He could do a cool Legion book.

Oh, Titans would be funny.
