I think Lelouch is alive, and the creators were also being honest when they said he died. Remember when Charles met Lelouch in the world of C he had his geass him. If his code had been activated then he would not have been able to be geassed. Once he shot himself he was able to rise again with an activated code. You could say he shot himself just to mess with Lelouch but I think not, he wanted to get the code and lure C.C into he world of C and the best way to do that was bring Lelouch. Then like stated earlier, when you have a fully mature geass you can forcibly take a code from a code bearer which I think he did with the help of the world of c. Up untill Suzaku killed him he still had his geass and managed to take over the world. His aim after his 'death' is probably to maintain the peace he gave up his friends and family for and any sequal featuring him will probably be years into the future when the current cast is either old or dead.
