There is no domestic violence, though when Batman sees a young boy on a balcony, the boy's parents can be heard yelling at each other and the boy.

Scarecrow gasses his victims to make them hallucinate. The audience sees multiple scenes from their perspective.

Technically could be considered animal abuse: a bunch of bats are summoned with a sound and made to crash though windows and swarm around for a scene; this happens after Batman takes a device out of his boot.

No one is sexually assaulted, though when Alfred is putting Rachel onto the backseat of a car while she is unconscious, he briefly lays between her legs while he lays her down, and two people look at him in suspicion, making it wrongfully seem as though he were sexually assaulting her.

Most of the police in Gotham City are corrupt and portrayed as bastards, I don’t think Gordon does anything illegal, it’s the non-cop Batman who interrogates criminals with torture (and that only happens a few times and is tame compared to most entries under the “torture” category).

Possibly, if Crane and Scarecrow are seen as different characters or entities in the same body. There does seem to be a different voice when Scarecrow has the mask on, and he does at one point claim he's Scarecrow, not Crane. If that's the case, the character falls into the stereotype of D.I.D people being evil/violent.

Part of the plot involves a hallucinogenic drug, and people's hallucinations are sometimes depicted. There are differences in cinematography, etc., that indicate when something is a hallucination, and there are not scenes where an event appears to be real and then turns out to have been a hallucination, but the transitions can be sudden and may be disturbing.

No BUT there is a fat character whose main characteristics are eating food in most of his scenes and being antagonistic. It was very obvious in my opinion that he was meant to fit the classic "fat character who is mostly interested in food" trope.
