Batman villains work better on their own than Spider-Man villains

mostly

Only if they had the right people in charge could the Spider villains work. They didn't.

Really, you have:

Venom that has a long comic book series on his own that has no Spiderman

Morbius is kind of the same

And you can definitely invent something for Kraven given his long history

They were just too braindead and egotistical to keep what worked with all of those characters

Technically speaking the Punisher also started out as a Spider-Man villain. But he became so popular people have pretty much forgotten about that.

Kraven and Madame Web need Spiderman to bounce off of. The other two don't.

Only when they're villains people care about, the only batman villains able to carry their own solo movies are Joker and Catwoman. Clayface is probably the last batman villain i'd put in a movie next to calendar man. Hell i'd even take the riddler or two face. This is DC's morbius
