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.

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.

I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
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.
Captain America
Iron Man
I don't see him sticking around at DC.
That's probably the biggest franchise I can see him joining after Batman.
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).
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
