As an old R&C player, I have to disagree. The reason he wasn't in some of the games was because the first few Ratchet games were trying to find a villain, they were coming up with new arch enemies every game. When Nefarious popped up, they didn't kill him off and left him alive, then continued cycling through new villains. Most ended up dead and were not very interesting, Nefarious was hilarious and an excellent antagonist so when they ran out of ideas, they finally settled on him returning and it seems its going to stay that way from now on.

As for Spiderman and Batman, their comics do not equate to their video games. Its a different medium. Joker is to Batman because Joker never dies, he keeps coming back. Same with Clockwerk. Also, if we were to equate to videogames, Joker has been in all the Batman games (I mean Arkham Asylum and City) as the big bad.

I don't want Clockwerk to be the only villain but he definitely should be the one behind most of the curtains. The collector can be are primary antagonist for most of Sly 4 for all I care, same with all other Sly games. A reference, mention, possible connection, or something to Clockwerk, whether he's alive or dead, is all I want. The reason I want him alive or resurrected this game is because the game's entire concept is practically stuffing in our faces the potential of Clockwerk making a big return, especially with that claw statue in the safehouse.

Your points are valid but imho Sly's formula works best with the constant return of Clockwerk to swear revenge. But once again, I am biased. As long as its handled well, I have faith Sanzaru can masterfully make Clockwerk and the Collector excellent co-antagonists in the game.
