There's one thing I hope the writers will take into consideration. Splinter purposely kept himself hidden so that he wouldn't have to fight Shredder (dunno if it was because of nostalgia, of their past friendship, or something else). He's hidden for 15 years, not once going after Shredder, and even now he still wont go up to face him.

Personally, I find that a bit cowardly, as he's allowing his young students to fight the Shredder when he wont. But anyway... He's been hiding from the Shredder, and all that time his daughter has been with him. How's he going to react, when he finds out he could have had his daughter back with him if he had gone to face the Shredder much sooner?
