We study the conditions under which N=(1,1) generalized sigma models supportan extension to N=(2,2). The enhanced supersymmetry is related to the targetspace complex geometry. Concentrating on a simple situation, related to Poissonsigma models, we develop a language that may help us analyze more complicatedmodels in the future. In particular, we uncover a geometrical framework whichcontains generalized complex geometry as a special case.Comment: 1+19 pages, JHEP style, published versio
