For Kähler manifolds, the existence of Kähler potentials is of fundamental importance as it can reduce questions on metrics to scalar functions. This paper is concerned with the extension of this result to generalized Kähler structures of symplectic type. The authors first prove that a degenerate generalized Kähler structure of symplectic type is equivalent to a holomorphic symplectic Morita equivalence with a brane bisection; here a brane bisection is a certain Lagrangian submanifold in the Morita equivalence. It is based on the result by \textit{M. Bailey} and \textit{M. Gualtieri} [``Integration of generalized complex structures'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1611.03850}] which states that holomorphic Poisson structures on complex manifolds that correspond to the given degenerate generalized Kähler structure of symplectic type are holomorphically symplectically Morita equivalent in a canonical way. The authors then prove that the brane bisection in the holomorphic symplectic Morita equivalence can be written as a graph of an exact \((1,0)\)-form in a generic Darboux chart, and defines the potential function of this graph to be the generalized Kähler potential. It agrees with the usual Kähler potential in the classical Kähler case. The authors' approach is based on the following observation by \textit{S. K. Donaldson} [J. Symplectic Geom. 1, No. 2, 171--196 (2002; Zbl 1035.53102)]: the classical Kähler potential can be interpreted as a Lagrangian submanifold (with some properties) of a holomorphic symplectic affine bundle modelled on the cotangent bundle of the given Kähler manifold. Their insight is that this formulation of Kähler potentials can be extended to the generalized Kähler setting.
