I went through the edit today, and I liked quite a lot of things about it: altered plot points, such as Batman being darker in his actions, the voice modulation of Batman, the rescore, the audio distortions, and, to an extent, the new dark look of the film. Scarecrow & fear-toxin Batman are downright demonic.

However, I couldn’t watch the whole thing as, for me personally, the new grade puts a strain on my eyes. I think this could be toned down a bit, especially in the daytime scenes, but also the nighttime scenes, as the contrast/slight blurriness can be painful to look at. I also think that the edit could do with stripping down the film to barebones and keeping the pace high, so as to place the focus on the more modified scenes by removing some scenes and sideplots, e.g. the business side of Wayne enterprises. But that’s just my personal preference.

I still think this is great and really imaginative, and I’m impressed with what you’ve done here, I’d just tone down the visual filters a bit.
