The superhero sequel took home prizes for best film, actor (Christian Bale) and director (Christopher Nolan). The late Heath Ledger, who starred as the Joker in the comic book movie, was the recipient of a special tribute award.
"When you make a film like Dark Knight you really hope it reaches a lot of people, and Empire and its readers are really a great audience. Thank you very much," said Nolan via video message.
Latest Bond outing Quantum Of Solace won for best thriller, RocknRolla triumphed in the British film category, the comedy award went to Son Of Rambow, Wanted secured the sci-fi gong and Eden Lake was named best horror movie.
Other winners, voted for by readers of Empire magazine, included Helena Bonham Carter, who received the best actress award for Sweeney Todd, Mamma Mia! for best soundtrack and Gemma Arterton, who nabbed the newcomer gong.
