Here are some notes I made of how a fan edit may play out if anyone cares:

- Opening Warners Logo
- DELETED SCENE: Arkham Asylum/Two-Face's escape (with added music and sound effects)
- Bruce's inspection of Wayne Enterprise (cut some of Edward's Lines)
- Bruce sees the Bat signal, leaves, and uses the transportation device in his office that leads to the Batcave
- Opening Titles, the suiting up sequence, Chase's intro, Two-Face's intron, the Bank sequence, and Two-Face's getaway
- Edward murders Stickley and the next morning
- Edward's apartment scene & putting up riddle at Wayne Manor
- Bruce's meeting with Chase Meridian (breaking in her door, etc)
- The Circus sequence
- Dick arriving at Wayne Manor
- Bruce & Alfred talk about Bruce's guilt
- DELETED SCENE: Dick's Pain (possibly later in the film)
- The Bat signal, Batman meets Chase on the rooftop (replacing the Batmobile driving on walls scene)
- Two-Face's hideout and Riddler introduction (cut the previous scene where Edward is deciding what to call himself)
- The Washroom scene with Dick's kung-fu drying abilities (not necessary but it sets up his skills)
- DIck asking about the door/Batcave entrance
- Riddler & Two-Face's crime spree
- Dick breaks into the Batcave
- Bruce's second meeting with Chase (interrupted by Alfred's call)
- Dick's night out with the Batmobile
- Bruce and Dick discussing vengeance ("we're the same")
- The Ritz Gotham: Edward's unveiling of the new box, Bruce uses the box, and Two-Face crashes the party
- The sequence at the abandoned subway, Dick saving Bruce's life
- Bruce & Dick arguing in the Batcave
- DELETED/EXTENDED SCENE: Bruce's dilemma (recut with some of the material already in the film and cut some of the lame TV show)
- Baman going to Chase's apartment at night
- Riddler and Two-Face discover Bruce's secret
- Bruce shutting down the Batcave and telling Dick "Batman is no more"
- Bruce and Chase's date at Wayne Manor
- Riddler and Two-Face break in and blow up the Batcave, take Chase, and shoot Bruce
- Bruce wakes up
- Riddler and Chase ("Batman, coming for you?") and the new Bat signal
- DELETED SCENE: Secrets of the Batcave (with added music and sound effects)
- Bruce and Alfred solve the riddles
- And basically the rest of the film is as it is

This doesn't account for all the silliness in Tommy Lee Jones' and Jim Carrey's performances though.
