I was so expecting him doing something totally badass like going through the floor or roof. Then smash his way to Slade and superspeed out...but it was all just left offscreen. Total buzzkill!Comment

Okay, so the going theories so far that make sense are:
1. The bars were not real Kryptonite, they were a metal that simulated Kryptonite.
2. The Kryptonite was run through the bars electrically. When the power got shut off, the Kryptonite stopped flowing through the bars.
3. Clark is becoming more resistant to Kryptonite, which is why he said "I am man and steel." In other words, "You're going to see how tough I really am by surviving this."
The strange part is, when the "Kryptonite" bars were activated, Clark cringed and looked sick and weakened. Was that just an act?Comment

I thought those were the same electro-K bars like what Lionel used to imprison Clark in S7's "Traveler". The bars didn't emit Kryptonite radiation until electricity powered them, just like they did in this episode. They did say this was Luthorcorp tech that the government jacked, didn't they?
I'm assuming the self destruct knocked out the powers, restoring Clark's abilities so he could escape.
I have a theory about green K since it is supposed to be a radioactive material. There could be different grades of Kryptonite, ones that emit more deadly radiation to Clark than others, regardless of size. I also suspect those bars in the base weren't fully tested on a true Kryptonian before and weren't actually calibrated properly.
But yes, plot hole. I do blame the writing here because I felt most of the episode had really lame writing. The direction was okay, but the writing and dialogue killed me tonight.Comment

What I would really want to see, but I doubt will happen, is Clark escaping as a result of turning the green-k into black-k with his heatvision (like he did to evil Lex's ring in Onyx), causing his Kal-El side to split off & be released into the world while he escaped.Comment

Suspicion
The k bars were powered I suspect when the facility was about to explode it shut down thereby restoring Clark's powers and ergo he sped out, have yet to figure out how Deathstroke survived though sorry Slade Wilson...Comment

Wow, some of you are over thinking it. I just assume that the building exploded and clark probably was damage, but he would just be heal by the sun. K bar would not kill him, just hurt him. But as of Slade being alive, I don't know maybe Darkseid had something to do with it.Comment

Okay how about?
The power went down Clark recovered burst free grabbed Slade and escaped the place as it was blowing up and left him where he could be found only somehow Slade lost an eye probably because Clark wasn't able to reach him in time...
Either that or afterwards Slade had an accident once he was outside that involved a tantrum and a handgun possibly even shooting Clark in the back only it bounced and grazed his face?
Yes annoying that left that bit out wonder if it'll be a deleted scene or whether they actually bother addressing that?Comment
