After His Batman Ends, What Comic Should Tom King Have His Hands On Next?

[Timothy Hunter]

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

[Green Goblin of Sector 2814]

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

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.

[theoneandonly]

the adventures of Gotham Girl?

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 Vision and Mister Miracle.

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.

[Bruce Wayne]

Captain America
Iron Man

I don't see him sticking around at DC.

[EsotericFailures]

He seems to like Hal, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he find himself on Green Lantern. After Morrison is done of course.

That's probably the biggest franchise I can see him joining after Batman.

Captain America
Iron Man

I don't see him sticking around at DC.

He has an exclusive contract so he's not allowed. But if I was him I'd be wanting out as soon as possible knowing that Harras will always be over your shoulder to hinder your career (if rumours are correct ofc).

[Green Goblin of Sector 2814]

Captain America
Iron Man

He’s DC exclusive.

[Chubistian]

I don't know if it's cheating, because I listed some characters that don't have a title
Wally West & his family (if they ever come back), though I'm not a fan of HiC, I think he can do wonders with a WW that has his family back
Blue Beetle & Booster Gold in a title of their own
Titans
Cassandra Cain
Nightwing
Suicide Squad

[MajorHoy]

He’s DC exclusive.

For now.

Anybody remember how long that deal lasts until?

And, the more I think about it, the guy Tom King should be writing is:
