In the press room of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, in front of the live cameras set up by TMZ, James stepped up to the podium on behalf of TMZ.
He held Martin's "Joker Diary" in both hands.
Opposite him were Thomas, representing Martin, and Nolan, representing The Dark Knight Crew.
Beneath the podium, many other media reporters were taking photographs.
TMZ, which had made efforts to capture and record news about others, had today become one of the protagonists of the news.
As "Diary Gate" reached a certain level of fervor, TMZ decided to return Martin's Joker Diary for no charge.
The Dark Knight Crew was particularly easy to communicate with; they were not averse to live broadcasting and press conferences, and TMZ understood that the crew equally needed the publicity.
Both sides quickly agreed, and so there was this unique diary return ceremony for Martin's Joker diary.
