Plus, I believe at least half the fans will be pissed off if they keep Splinter dead permanently. And if there's one thing I've learned from history, it's that a lot of pissed off fans can really make a show or franchise change their decisions.

Take Halloween 3 for example. When that film diverted from the Michael Myers plotline, a lot of fans were angry with the film and screamed at Hollywood to bring back Michael Myers. They did in Halloween 4 and even the opening title was a message to the fans. You know what it said?

Halloween 4

Michael Myers is back.

Happy, now?

So I believe it's only a matter of time until Splinter returns.
